An amazing discovery

[Pa SxS]

I did a letter for a fellow PGCA member. It was for a AHE 16ga. with 26" Acme barrels made in 1922. Unfortunately I only had the stock book for this gun. He also told me that this gun was pictured in the Parker catalogs. I have pictures of quite a few catalogs so I went looking for this gun. The first catalogs were dated 1923. I have 3 versions of this catalog, 2 are dated April 21, 1923 but show a different gun. The other version shows this gun. The engraving is obviously different between these 2 guns so it's very obvious they are different guns. The next catalog I have is 1926 and it show this gun with 2 different views a side view and bottom view. If I zoom in on the picture, I can make out the S/N which is 197081! Unfortunately you won't be able to zoom in to read it. I went through all the other catalogs up to 1940 and all showed the same gun except that some catalogs only showed the side profile not the bottom profile.

This is one exquisite Gun!
