Bill, my letters for the other two guns give his full name.

Dean, The letter says gun was ordered by H.C.Galeker Co. San Francisco Jan 1918, Arthur duBray was the salesman. The letters "ERC" were engraved in the shield, floral and scroll engraving price 185.00 plus 5.00 for pad, Gary

Thanks Gary - That's about the nicest California duck club gun I've ever seen!






.

Thanks, Gary. I wonder if the initials refer to any known duck hunter of the time?

one nice gun...and those long 32 inch barrels just really get me going...the fellow that done the engraving on this gun was surely a master....charlie.....

I wish I knew what the initials stand for? , maybe research CA shooters? Gary

Gary, can you make the ERC into an EBC? Is is quite legible. I have an EBC for you.

Bill, I doubled checked the initials are "ERC", who was "EBC", The gun was made for someone or else the initials would not be on the stock, Gary
