Wow. Let's take a look at that one.

I took a picture back in 1970 of the gun if I can find it. Supposedly it was made for a Marine officer who liked to shoot trap and was descended down through the family. I had a chance to buy it for $275 when that was more than 2 weeks work and so it went away.

Yes, it would be nice to see photos of that. Obviously we know that guns were ordered without rib extensions. A letter might also prove useful in determining originality.
