Maybe our Research Chairman, Chuck Bishop, can answer this for us.
It seems the "S" designation started with serial number 176127
Page 63 of the Serialization book tells us that guns higher than 170,000 with the S designation are single barrel trap guns, but it appears that isn't necessarily so because of the subject gun of this thread.
Jim, does your gun have 32" barrels as shown in the Serialization book?
