Deep relief engraving on a Grade 5 is pretty rare.

Thanks very much Chuck!
Of the twenty-six serial numbers listed here it is surprising that only ten of them are shown in the “28-Gauge Shotguns” table at the rear of Volume II of TPS. As a point of interest… 94373 is a TI5 with a CPG and 28” barrels. 95431 is a TI3 with a straight grip and 26” barrels. 97170 is a TI3 with a straight grip and 26” barrels. 97426 is a TI5 with a straight grip and 26” barrels. 99181 is a TI3 with a CPG and 26” barrels. 99599 is a TI3 with a straight grip and 26” barrels. 100303 is a VH with a straight grip and 26” barrels. 101329 is a VH with a CPG and 26” barrels. 102155 is a VH with a pistol grip (round knob) and 26” barrels. 102156 is a VH with a CPG and 27” barrels. .

All those times I saw Richie Sexson play for the Buffalo Bisons I had no idea he was du Bray's great-great grandson... |
