I have a 4E flues from 1916. It is one of my two go to trap guns and a real delight. Fits great, shoots about 60/40 and floats birds very well. My grand father picked it up second hand in the 1930s. Many that I have seen have nice case color as they mostly go from the safe or closet to the trap range then get put back. Little time in the elements. That said without the safty mine was a great live bird gun for doves when I lived in Pennsylvania.
Not verified but I heard Annie Oakley used one to shoot in the 90s on her fiftieth birthday.
