There was a rather nasty chunk of metal missing from the lower left corner of the frame. This had to be built up with some weld and dressed back down.

The first old photo shows the amount of metal that had to be removed from the iron. These NOS irons are oversized enough to where they can be fitted to 0, 1 or 2 frames. IMG_2240.jpg IMG_2633.jpg

Bill,
Oh yeah, you are close. I absolutely will. I am usually in the back room. Straight in from the main entrance on the back wall. I have a table runner with my name and information printed on it. Look forward to meeting you! I will also be at Rochester the weekend before. There I will be up in the main hall by the entrance, by John and Alan Batzold.

Brian, I will see you in Syracuse. John and Alan Batzold are two of the finest old time gun dealers. Only quality guns on their tables and usually, only a few. I purchased my PH 36" 8 gauge from John at the Albany show 15 or 20 years ago. It was the only gun on his table.

Yes, John is a good friend and of mine. He has owned a lot of nice guns over the years.
Look forward to meeting you. I do plan on having this 20g hammer gun with me for show.

Brian, gun #242,396 was a 20 gauge DHE, in stock at Remington on December 9, 1942, to be reconditioned or parts added to make it sellable. I assume the work needed on the gun was to finish the barrels. Apparently, they decided to part it out rather than restoring it to new condition.

Thanks for the info Bill. I figured that was the situation.
