Wow, what a great find Kent!

Who would have thought such extravagance would have been advertised in the middle of the war years when production of sporting arms had been halted for the war effort.

An amazing find.

I could write a very interesting order from the A-1 Special ad.

Me too. Mine would be a 28 gauge with straight grip, 30” barrels with a beavertail, choked CYL/MOD, double triggers and twin ivories, deep relief floral engraving and pretty Gracie deeply engraved on the floor plate. In the wedge engraving would be a flushing woodcock on the right and a flushing grouse on the left.
The chambers would be 2 3/4” just for convenience sake.
The wood would be a mesmerizing oil finished honey & chocolate marble cake.

That is exactly the same as the 1941 Stoeger catalog --

1941 Stoeger catalog pg 57 Parker A-1 Special.jpg

Until the manufacturers put out new information, Stoeger just continued to publish what they had.

... so don't expect your order to be filled I guess...

Why go small? How about a set of eight. Four Skeet Guns (12-, 20- & 28-gauge and .410-bore), a 16-gauge upland gun, a 12-gauge 3-inch Pigeon & Trap Gun, a light Super-Ten for all around waterfowling and a heavy Magnum-Ten for pass shooting. Oh, make it nine and throw in an SBT.
