Wow! What great posts. Yep, my gun is exactly like those shown. Same forearm latch, side locks, wrist, etc...
The story was that my grandfather bought that little Knickerbocker from the fellow who was the champion trap shooter in the state of Kansas. So it came with a pedigree. My dad also borrowed his father's Remington Model 11, which eventually came to me. It was heavy as lead. Had a Polychoke. Dad said that one day he and his father were hunting, and his dad somehow stuck the muzzle in the mud and didn't know it. Bang! The last inch of the muzzle opened up like a blunderbuss. On went the Polychoke. I hunted with that gun in college and learned to shoot over the hump. Someone broke into my apartment and ripped it off. I hope there is a special place in Hell for people who steal people's prize guns.
