Nice local find

[Researcher]

I can't see it in your pictures, but does it have the

PROOF TESTED--16 GAUGE
--2 3/4 INCH CHAMBER--

stamping on the left barrel as shown here on this gun with ten digits higher serial number --

376543 01.jpg

That stamping begins appearing on some guns that letter to 1938 and is pretty universal on guns that letter 1939 and later.

[C.O.B.]

And thats why we never stop looking.

Dave, I took a few extra photos for you.
