I was once able to observe "Babe" DelGrego as he evaluated/determined the originality of a magnum 12ga. According to Babe the barrels for a magnum 12 would have no swamp at the breach. I believe this is also mentioned in Parker Story. I asked Babe directly if such barrels were marked and stamped in the late 20's and he said yes. I am curious to know if anyone has or knows of a gun that is so stamped, original, and earliest year built.
I wonder if guns stamped for 3" that swamp at the breech have been legthened and stamped after they were built?
