Default Serial number lookup
I'm in the process of purchasing a 12ga DHE with 32" barrels advertised as a "pigeon gun" this gun is a no safety with single trigger gun which would go along with being a live pigeon gun. My question is did it come from the factory in this configuration. Serial number is 148883. Appears to be a shooter condition gun which is what it will be used for. Not really in collector shape IMO.

V. H. 0. C. 12. 30.

The specs on 143883 don’t match up with your description of the gun.

Maybe Chuck Bishop can come on and veryfy what it REALLY is.

Aha!

The Serialization book shows 148883 as TI3. H. 2. S. 12. 32.

Which is a Grade 3 (DH) Hammerless with Ejectors, Straight grip, 12 gauge 32” barrels.

Well buggers. She wears a capped pistol grip stock now (which I actually prefer). Was hoping it was the original lumber. Would there be any info on whether the omitted safety was factory?

You’ll need to order a research letter for that and the stock.

Thank you to all that replied. Very much appreciated. Once I take possession I'll get a research letter ordered.
