Both sets are 26", one set is stamped choked 2/4 and the other 3/4 but someone has reamed the chokes out. The 2/4 set mics as skeet/skeet and the other as IC/M. Serial #s match and place the gun as 1928 mfg. Owner says barrels were not cut but I have not seen them yet. I pick it up tomorrow. I'll get a letter from Cody to see just how it was ordered etc. One thing I find interesting is my 1927 NID4E 12ga two barrel set has a forend for each barrel set and both barrels were ordered at time of original order yet this 16 has one forend. I am guessing two forends would have been an extra option?
It appears to me in your picture that the gun doesn't have cocking indicators, which generally means after 1935. If it has the later style forearm latch with the Baker J-spring and the lever actuating a Parker-style tilting block latch, that is a forearm much easier to make work on two sets of barrels.

From what I can find online it looks like 1928mfg going by the serial # but it does not have cocking indicators like the 1927 12ga I have. All numbers match throughout.

Is the second # a 5? Meaning is the serial number 454-419?
I have encountered a fair amount of NID’s in the 454-000 range and they generally all came with cocking indicators.
From your excellent pic of the top side of the frame, there is no evidence of closed holes where they may have once been. Possibly the customer requested no cocking indicators.

Yes the serial # is 454419 and there is no indication that cocking indicators were ever present and filled in. I have a feeling it was ordered without. Hopefully a letter from Cody will provide some information on the order configuration.
