I found my model 21 letter from Cody. My model G2188B, 20 gauge from 1946 mentions checkered butt plate.
Mr. Noreen (I believe) clarified a question I had long had. While the letter stated my shotgun as Standard grade, this gun was clearly marked Skeet on the trigger plate. I was unaware that the model 21 Skeet gun could be ordered in the Standard, Tournament, Trap, or Custom grades.
I am glad that there are so many on this site that have a passion for these fine old shotguns and are willing to share their knowledge.
