If it's the "REAL BO-WHOOP" SN 31088 that I saw two years ago I predict that it will leave the "Czar's" Parker in the dust. To be sure it's got to be: HE Grade, 12 gauge, 32" barrels choked full & full, Stock 14 1/4" pull, 1 1/2 " DAC, 2: DAH, Weight 9 lb. 9 oz., straight slender grip, half oval, Hy Gain recoil pad, XE Grade style stock & fore arm, XE engraving, full round comb, pitch-2", cast off 1/2", chambered for 3" shell for #4 chilled shot, largest ivory front sight, small ivory rear sight 10" from the breech. Shipped from Fox Philadelphia, PA factory May 27, 1927. Original onsignee listed to be Nash Buckingham. (All this taken from a copy of John Callahan's letter to the present owner)
Best Regards, George
