Wording to that effect is in the letter for my 28 gauge Skeet gun No. 236912
The letter states it was one of the guns.... well, you can read it yourself.
According to the research package I received from Bob Beach at Griffin & Howe it was received at A&F on Feb. 28, 1943 for $124.43 and sold shortly thereafter for $138.00.
These are pretty much ‘new gun’ prices.
