I think it must be the low hammer , Rick. The cool part is the "Featherweight" designation on the rib, it is as light, or lighter than my O frame Parkers--definitely not a waterfowl gun.
I initially wondered if it might be a 2" chamber gun, but my friend had been shooting 2 /34" loads thru it.

I have handled one of those owned by a double gun gunsmith who would not let it go. I thought it was a nice gun. I'd stick with RST or your reloads -

Clabrough's seem to have well executed engraving and nice wood on the better grades

mine is a 32" very solid 10ga, that at 40 yards threw 92% patterns with lead 4's when I printed it on paper.

and I agree Patrick, he was a gentleman. I contacted him when I, or actually my wife, found mine as a disassembled basket case in a PA antique co-op. we had several phone conversations and I was lucky enough to get a signed copy of the book from him.

I had one for a while it was a nice gun but I sold it when I bought a Stephan Grant.
