I have 2 28 gauge guns made in 1936 as your gun. The DHE 28 gauge skeet will accept a 2 7/8 paper shell thats from the same era. My VHE 28 guage will not accept the 2 7/8 shell but chambers the 2 3/4. Neither of the guns have the chambers listed in the factory letters. I wish that the early Meriden made Remington Parkers would have stamped the chamber size on the guns like they did when they moved to Ilion.
