Dave, see attached image. Serial number matches on everything. Gun was ordered in 1917 and shipped in 1918. I really wasn't here to learn about the gun, but since we're talking about it now I will participate. I was using it as a prop for my rib termination discussion.
Please excuse my lathering of ren wax.
