SN 136,503 is a 1906 CHE from Los Angeles, a 12ga 30, originally no safety then returned for safety installation. 2 1/4" drop at heel, so I suspect its original purpose was trap. We have a lot of people that come on here and believe that any no safety gun was a live bird gun, as if that makes it extra special somehow. I think that this one was a live bird gun, trap gun, or maybe just ordered for a person that didn't like safeties.

This piece has a peculiarity with the stock which is correctly SN'ed and grade numbered. The cheek panel is original and the grip checkering lacks the bump normally found on C's.
