The found work order tags

SXS OHIO · 01-11-2010, 07:42 AM

I have a GHE 20, 233314, Mnf. about 1929 It matches up with one of the listed work order tags found. Should I invest in it...100.00 My gun is very nice but has had the barrels rust blued and gaurd redone, the receiver has been cleaned up and turning gray. The engraving is still nice, screw heads unmared, the wood excl. but the finish is starting to dry up and looks weathered. Good modern dementions 14 1/4 over its original plate, 2.5 drop, O-frame 28" at 5lbs-15oz. Collected some preserve birds on several trips, nice bird hunting gun. Any imput on this issue...thanks Kenny SXS ohio....(-:

I would buy it. Money goes to a good cause... PGCA right?

The price is for the original. Possibly, the cost of a PGCA letter would include a copy of the tag, front and back, or at least a synopsis of the information on the tag. Personally, I think the PGCA is not doing the right thing in charging so much for these pieces, which should go with the gun.

I agree with you Bill. The tags should be given to the gun owners as a token for being a member in such an outanding organization.
Okay, they can charge for postage...

Maybe not given, but no more then the cost of a letter.

cool thing, for not much money. I'd buy it.

Bill Murphy · 01-14-2010, 10:52 AM

Yeah, the gun that I own that is on the list will cost me $300.00 for the tag. I have paid some unfair penalties over the years for being a PGCA member, but this is a bit much.

yea...... it's not 300 cool
