Early 28 Gauge Production

[James L. Martin]

Somewhere I saw 275 as the number of 0 frame 28ga guns ,can't remember where. 0 frame 28ga guns where made for approx. 12 years, that would be about 23 a year from 1900 to 1912. For what's it worth, I doubt anyone knows for sure.

There is no way of knowing how many 0 frame 28ga. guns were made without physically looking at the guns and keeping a tally. I reviewed stock book # 75, which is the first stock book to list frame sizes. All the 28ga. guns listed were all 00 frames and all were in the 5 1/2 to 6.0 pounds except for 1 or 2 that had long barrels. Stock book 75 started at S/N 213778 July 1925.

But I have to ask, Why is it so important?
