Let's see some wood!

I am not so sure that is Claro ( California Corkwood) looks more Turk to me.

Since this gun is such an early Serial number - P00036 - Does it make sense that it would be the same wood as the others in the prototype serial run?

Were they made with different types of wood as examples?

Another interesting feature is that has 28 inch barrels and that the barrel is roll stamped that it is chambered for 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells. I don't know if that many came that way or not.

A quarter sawn piece can, and usually does, look entirely different from a flitch (edge) sawn piece.

To my knowledge, all 20 and 12-ga. Repros with 28" barrels have 3" chambers and are stamped like yours, the only exception being the Sporting Clays Classic model -- which is stamped 2 3/4", but measures 3".

My 12 gauge 28” repro was stamped 2 3/4” only, but not a SCC.
