For openers, the rib will not have Parker Bros, Meriden Ct. Vulcan Steel rolled into it. I think the rib has Winchester Reproduction stamped into it. The S/N will have the gauge #, a dash and then a 4 or 5 digit number. Its been a long time since I sent my repro down the road so memory fails me about further details.

I still have the stock that split through the wrist around here somewhere. And the letter from Larry Del Grego concerning the defect in the gun that caused it to not open after taking a shot at a straight overhead bird.

The gun in lot number 2281 is owned by an long time collector from CT. The gun was bought by him in a deal for several guns. The barrels are CT Shotgun barrels. This gun will be a great shooter. Someone will buy it.

Dave do you know who the "gunsmith" was and I use that term very loosely, that fitted these barrels?
