So, Richard, tell me about the #5 engraved 28 gauge solid rib pigeon grade. Was it an original factory engraved gun? How did you document it? How about the similar Model 42? How did you document that one? Were they Ulrich engraved guns or later?

Bill, The M12 and M42 were engraved in a std Win #5 pattern when compared to the engraveing patterns listed by Winchester. The M42 was undoubtly restocked as it had (so did the M12) wood that was to die for.
I doubt they were factory original as I never saw anyplace where they were signed. this was almost 20 years ago so memory fades. They were nice guns upgrades or not and I wish I had them back. I came across the name of the person who bought the M42 the other day maybe I'll give him a call when the bank fills back up. That 101 3 bbl set would be nice to have back as well.
