[Quack me up!]

I sent off for a research letter on a 10ga hammer gun that I'm interested in buying. It is in the serial #327xx range. It is a Quality S top action with twist barrels, 13 1/2" LOP, with special instructions of no extended rib and to shoot extra close.
Chokes each patterned at 250 pellets of size 8 shot in a 24" circle at 45 yards.
First off, any idea why one would order a gun without the dolls head?
Has any one else had a gun ordered with this tight of a pattern request?
It was nice to see that it was actually ordered by an individual and not just a general store etc. I assume that was because of the short LOP and no extended rib.
I just thought this was a neat letter that I'd share.
Thank you.
