I can't see it in your pictures, but does it have the

PROOF TESTED--16 GAUGE
--2 3/4 INCH CHAMBER--


stamping on the left barrel as shown here on this gun with ten digits higher serial number --

That stamping begins appearing on some guns that letter to 1938 and is pretty universal on guns that letter 1939 and later.
