If it was intended as a quail gun I am surprised that the chokes would be "reversed" like that. I often use the tighter choked barrel on an incoming flock of doves, using the tighter choke farther out, then the more open on the second shot as the doves approach closer. But, I never considered having a gun with "reversed chokes". I simply go to the rear trigger first, then the front next. My dedicated quail gun is a 20 ga. Fox, choked .006" right and .016" left. I can see no reason to reverse the chokes in the two barrels, but who knows what one may have wanted?
It was actually Dunlap Hardware in Macon, GA (maybe a typo). It was owned by Samuel Dunlap who died rather unexpectantly in 1928, from angina pectoris according to the obituary.
