Ah, the rest of the story. I found the Skeleton Buttplate from s/n 177244, which the serial number book lists as a DHE 20 gauge with 32" barrels. Rare bird and I'm thinking this might have been one of the ones that went to California to hunt ducks back in the day. Accordingly, I thought it might have been built on a 1 frame because that was (I believe) and option. |

I own #177244!!!!!!!! It is as you describe and was restored and restocked to original configuration. It is on a O frame with original 2 3/4" chambering as stated in the PGCA letter. It is a CA duck gun of the era. Thank you! Bob Jurewicz |

Good copy on that Bob. I have zero problem with a swap and sent you an email with particulars on the buttplate itself. I'm out of town until tomorrow afternoon, so I may not be able to check my emails until tomorrow afternoon. Tom

The Brothers P did many wonderful things to achieve a customer's desired weigth and balance with their guns. Quite often two guns of the same frame size will different sized stocks. As I recall, back in the day, when Kevin and I made a lightning road trip up into Pennsylvania to lay his "Grandma's Gun" next to one of its sisters from that little nest of four 0-frame, 28-gauge, Damascus barrel, GH-Grades, one gun had a decidedly larger stock than the other. Unfortunately, this is the only picture from that family reunion I have scanned in and it doesn't really show the difference very well.

I can measure the skeleton butt plate from my Dhe 16 O frame if that would help. Isn"t that Don Miller from New Wilmington,Pa in the picture? He has not shown me that gun when at his house. I recently lost my old English Setter, Speck, that I bought off of Don--and he hunts a dog he bought off of me.
