Work Order Tag Examples
I'm going to post pictures of some of the interesting WOT's. The real small tags are from the early days at Parker Bros. and they are generally from the 1870's. The blue colored tags and the large tan tags, for the most part are from the 1920's and 1930's so they can't be referenced to the original Order Books since the Order Books ended in 1919.
Note that the second smallest tag is an 8 bore gun from 1877. Many of these small tags are very dirty and many can't be read. Also note that the pattern info is not there, just the generic chokes such as Full/Full.
The first picture is of the 4 types of tags we have.

Quite a few of the tags have additional information on the back of the tag, the large tag can contain a lot of handwritten information. This example if from the 1930's so there is no Order Book information to match to the tag. The Stock Book usually will not mention things other than the common options such as chamber length, vent rib, single trigger, and beavertail for-end. In this example the butt treatment was a Hawkins pad. If we had the Order Book for this gun, it would have shown a recoil pad was ordered. The Stock Book never mentions butt treatment so the assumption would be that the recoil pad was added and the skeleton butt removed. I guess if the Hawkins pad was still on, you may be able to guess that the pad was original if it matches the LOP.
