According to Frank Hall's book They came to shoot, there were 3000 duck clubs in California at that time.

I have a similar DHE 20 with the requested medium thick comb. My gun was ordered by a quail hunter, and the gun weighs a bit more than yours. I've assumed that when someone ordered the medium thick comb that it was to accommodate larger hands. Any other theories? Maybe to make the stock stronger for heavier loads...or...? How many of these larger comb guns do you suppose were ordered?
