Todays' mail brought this "P" grade, one frame, Twist 30" bbl. 12 ga. It is ser# 66894 with a fishtail top lever. With it came a canvas Victoria Gun Case #500. I found in TPS that 5122 12 ga. were made with Twist barrels. Is there a chart or list breaking down how many one frame 12ga. were made? Am sending off a request for a letter today. Never can tell what surprises they provide.
Added on a picture of a Red Head display I just made up with a duck shot last fall in Saskatchewan.

WOW!! Very nice! Appears to be a nice untouched example---just the way many of us like to find-em. I love the canvas case. Very very fine---- congratulations.

Gary: Great looking gun and a very comfortable looking place to hang out. I liked the old barn wood framed Redhead. Thomas

Nice gun. Thanks for posting the pics of the canvas case. I bought one with a VH several years ago but it is not in good condition. Now I have an example to take to the leather shop for repair.
Regards, Tom

Nice gun Gary, My latest project is also a ph # 66363. About 500 serial numbers apart. I am lacking a few pieces to make it complete, but hopefully they will show up. Congrats Dave
