O Frame 16 Damascus barrel.

[Jerry VanHorn]

Finally rec'd this orphan barrel. 28" M/F...Double ivory..Perfect bores..Nice finish...SO..checked SN in the book...It shows VH 20/26".. Flats are stamped 3/2 ..barrel wt. then a 4..under that a D..and above that a C..Is it just a case of wrong info. in book..or..?...Thanks..Jerry..

[Brett Hoop]

Could be. Anything about the SN# look altered? The D 4 is Damascus 4 croil. I wouldn't be surprised if the 4 with the D looks a little wore, as I have seen and have had others mention the same.

[Jerry VanHorn]

All the numbers and letters look original. I'm sure SN is original..

[Jerry VanHorn]

SN is ..135203..If it's not in the SN book...could it be found with a letter ?

[Dean Romig]

Yes Jerry, there ARE surviving factory records upon which a Research Letter can be based.
