After reviewing the order book entry for adding the 28ga. barrels, I believe that instead of "Put swells back in old bbls, it should read "Set sells back in old bbls". You have to understand that in this old script type writing and the use of broad tipped fountain pens, the capital S and capital P look very similar. I believe they were saying to fix the bulges (swells). Notice the "S" in Swells is the same letter as the first word. I was fairly new to the job at that time.
See what I mean! |

I was looking at that and thinking the same thing. Nice wood on that gun but no description.

I'm only about 50 minutes from Jaquas. I'll be out of town next week but when I return I'll run down and take lots of pics to try and figure these guns out. Let me know what specific pics you exoerts will need to answer some of the important questions.

The 20ga "Skeet" DHE is serial #191,0xx seems a 1920 gun would be to early for a skeet gun.

SKEET: The game was introduced in the February 1926 issues of National Sportsman and Hunting and Fishing magazines, and a prize of 100 dollars was offered[by whom?] to anyone who could come up with a name for the new sport. The winning entry was "skeet", chosen by Gertrude Hurlbutt.[4] The word "skeet" allegedly derived from the Norwegian word for "shoot" (skyte).
