I just finished close inspection of my recently acquired A1S 20 GA Skeet Gun Upgrade using a jewelers loop.
The "band " reads: ENGR REPRODUCTION RPRUNGE ILION NY This band is only 1/16" in width and I am amazed that it could be so engraved! Bob Jurewicz |

With a lot of help with the hint from Bob, I'm able to read it, except this gun says "......BY RPRUNGE...."

Sometimes, images like this are better seen with the naked eye. Too much detail in a digital image can fool the brain.

Seems like old Bill Jaqua (just end died Jan this yr ar 94 yrs) always had a supply of upgraded guns of all types. Think he bought a bunch of Franck Pachmayr guns which I recall some Parkers and Model 21 which some of which were quite nice. Just my comments hate to see so many of the Really Old Guys go that I remember growing up and read about.

Fascinating to read the observations! So, what's this gun worth in the estimation of those who have scrutinized the photos? Just curious.
