I suspect this set up is, in fact, for a left handed person

I have the 10 gauge 30”, 2-frame Damascus barrels from GH 57043 which are reversed choked rt-XF and l-LM. The serial number does not appear in the Serialization book because it falls in one of the sections where only data for DH and higher were recorded for inclusion.

Perhaps Chuck Bishop can look up 57043 to see if there’s a clue somewhere as to why these reverse chokes were ordered.

I’ve heard of Parkers being ordered with triggers set up for a left-handed shooter but not reverse chokes for that reason.

Your logic is sound Bruce - maybe someday somehow we’ll find an answer.
