Early graded lifter

[Larry the Gun Guy]

After talking to the guys in Houston about this gun, it's all coming back to me. The guy actually remembered me talking to him several months ago. The thing that tipped me over about this gun is it has some British proofs on the gun, according to the guys at Collectors. It doesn't say "anything" on the top rib. It has metric bore diameters on the barrel flats of 20.5 and 21.1. And it has no Parker marks on the barrel flats that he could tell me about. The serial number, on the water table, is 3708 (and FR 9) which says it's a D grade 10 gauge with 32" barrels. It does have 3708 on the side of the barrel lug. Heck, maybe it was ordered by someone in England. Maybe that explains the weird bottom tang with no serial number on it and the weird forend latch. A letter may tell something about all this. The sales guy says he's going to send me pictures and if he does, I'll stick them in this post.
