I believe Robin meant "repaired" April 1948
It could have been an alteration, adjustment or refinish etc. |

Right, the 3 indicates a repair or service.

Gun was made in the teens so repair seems correct. Thank you Robin for your assistance. I used this data link a few years ago but forgot.
Gun is a 20 gauge DH which originally had 32” barrels and no safety. Not my gun. It belongs to a friend. What a crying shame it now sits at 28” barrels but a very nice job on the shortening. No choke. |

"factory Beavertail forend" = CTT3 = April 1948

It looks like another repair code is beside the rear lug. I can make out J 3.

Good find Chuck. I had not noticed. I will check the next time I see my friend.
