Out of curiosity I checked with the museum regarding if they did have a Model 31. They have one. It is a 12 gauge; with a military type finish; Cylinder choke marked barrel. Plain walnut stock, ribbed type forearm. No Ordnance Bomb, Inspector initials, or any other military stampings. It does have a rack number stenciled onto the grip.
The artifact record only states "Found in the collection," so idea where it came from. Based on the description, it appears to be a Police Special or Riot gun. I doubt that this one was used for aerial gunner training.
