The other clue that the gun was a pigeon gun is the condition. Although checkering worn flat and quite a bit of receiver polish, the gun has little "field" wear (dings bumps scratches etc), and little evidence that it was ever routinely wet. In fact the table, flats and forend iron exhibit 100% colors and blue, as thought the gun mainly spent its time put together.
Cannot wait to get the letter, hoping it will shed some light to this interesting gun!
