This is #140131 20 ga VH whose letter says it was ordered and sent to Los Angeles with 26" barrels, straight grip and choked full and full. There are no repair records. From the pictures you'll see it's now got a "higher grade" replaced pistol grip stock (with a Remington grip cap) and re-blued barrels that are choked RH/IM and LH/F. Originally weighed 6lbs and remains the same although the wrist of the stock is about 1/2" thicker by comparison to a 0 frame 1903 16ga (assuming the same frame size warrants the same stock dimensions). All serial numbers match but the safety slide is not original; it's from a later production period.
Please look at the breech face grooves - can anyone explain why they were filed there? Locks up on face and shoots well (at least when someone who knows how to handle it shoots it..
