191767 is a 1920 0-frame 28 gauge gun but it’s not in the serialization book and there is no data upon which to base a research letter. Obviously in one of the “missing” books… perhaps in one of the books in the possession of the DelGrego family, eh?
This gun was manufactured six years before Skeet was invented and like sixteen years before Remington/Parker were stamping the SKEET IN and SKEET OUT on the flats.
We’ll never know what happened with this gun… It sure is pretty though.
