Ah, the rest of the story. I found the Skeleton Buttplate from s/n 177244, which the serial number book lists as a DHE 20 gauge with 32" barrels. Rare bird and I'm thinking this might have been one of the ones that went to California to hunt ducks back in the day. Accordingly, I thought it might have been built on a 1 frame because that was (I believe) and option.

Tom,
I own #177244!!!!!!!!
It is as you describe and was restored and restocked to original configuration. It is on a O frame with original 2 3/4" chambering as stated in the PGCA letter. It is a CA duck gun of the era.
Thank you!

Good copy on that Bob. I have zero problem with a swap and sent you an email with particulars on the buttplate itself. I'm out of town until tomorrow afternoon, so I may not be able to check my emails until tomorrow afternoon. Tom
