Larry passed away in late 2018 I think. I met him 20 years ago in Vegas and he was always very nice to me as I was learning about vintage shotguns and he always had a Clabrough for sale. His book on Clabrough guns was a labor of love for him and if you have one of these guns then you should seek out this book. There are shooting articles in print by other authors that have used larry's data and info but he was the boss on these guns and I miss my conversations with him.

I think it must be the low hammer , Rick. The cool part is the "Featherweight" designation on the rib, it is as light, or lighter than my O frame Parkers--definitely not a waterfowl gun.
I initially wondered if it might be a 2" chamber gun, but my friend had been shooting 2 /34" loads thru it.

Clabrough's seem to have well executed engraving and nice wood on the better grades mine is a 32" very solid 10ga, that at 40 yards threw 92% patterns with lead 4's when I printed it on paper. and I agree Patrick, he was a gentleman. I contacted him when I, or actually my wife, found mine as a disassembled basket case in a PA antique co-op. we had several phone conversations and I was lucky enough to get a signed copy of the book from him.

I had one for a while it was a nice gun but I sold it when I bought a Stephan Grant.
