Heavy gun

How times have changed. It’s hard to imagine purpose built shotguns weighing 10 pounds or more. Benefits? Heavy tools of that era were the accepted norm? One thing for sure, heavy gun = less felt recoil.

Seems unusual that the serial number on the rear lug is in two places. Undoubtedly period specific. I have no idea about the reasoning here, it’s a bit redundant.

Typically it is the last 3 of the serial that are there. Not the whole number.
