DeCarbonized barrels

[Hammer Gun]

Dean, It does not have the Ser# on the trigger guard, My ser# 97 does not either, It would be interesting to hear from other members who might have early guns say below 100, Both of these guns has the ser# on the water table, and the barrel flats, and the for end wood, and every where else you would expect, but not on the trigger guard!

I also have an early Back Action #1416 which also does not have the serial number engraved on the trigger guard.

Just took one in last week. No number on the guard. Serial # 57, 30" barrels. The gun is in great shape, poorly restored, but not destroyed. The first early backaction that I have seen in 14 guage.
