One of my 3" 21s is a pre war "Joe Knapp Club" gun built for Michigan mega gunner Lester Ruwe. It is so petite, I have no idea how the stock has survived almost 80 years of use. It feels like a 20 gauge in your hands. Joe Knapp was a founder of Ducks Unlimited and had a duck club in North Carolina where his ultra rich cronies were conferred membership in the "Joe Knapp Club". Their guns were adorned with gold escutcheons with a bust of Joe Knapp sculpted into the gold.
