16 gauge on #2 frame

[John Hancock]

George, The gun certainly is a 16 ga. now and the pic are posted, the gun looks like origional work to me ( I have been around guns for over 50 years). Would you speculate
as to it being a 12 ga in the serialization book. Thanks, John Hancock

John, all I know is what is in the book...and many have said the book isn't always right. I do have a EH # 59633 which is within a couple hundred #'s of yours. The #'s on the forend,frame and barrel lug look exactly alike. The #'s on your barrel lug appear to different than the others, and that would make me think the gun was sent back for new barrels at a later date. George
