I cant remember if the pictures I posted show it, but the trigger guard has initials engraved on it.

Tha trigger guard tang should only have "No 111805" engraved on it. If the trigger guard bow has initials engraved on it please show us a picture of that.

Dane, you have a great gun there. Please join the PGCA, the letter everyone is talking about is $40.00 as a member vs. $100.00 for non menbers. The benifits are great, the knowledge is amazing as you have been witness to on this thread.
There are a bunch of great people here with lots to teach us.
Enjoy the great gun.

Here are the I initials.

Very unusual! Thank you for posting that picture. Generally the initials would have been engraved on the oval shield in the stock but that one is a bit "off the charts".

It would be interesting to see if a research letter would mention those initials or the name of the original owner.

Letter request sent, I will let you guys know what info I get back.

Dean Romig · 03-22-2013, 08:57 PM

Dane, I hope you have joined the PGCA for only $40. That way the letter will only cost you an additional $40.... otherwise, non-members pay $100 for a research letter...

Do the math and save $20.
