I have asked myself that question many times and wish I could ask the original owner. Both my 6 frame guns have were used extensively. Untold numbers of waterfowl have fallen to these two guns. The other oddity is a market hunter wouldn't have the resources to buy a D. I have shot ducks with both and they are quite easy to handle in the blind. I see no real advantage to their size except the original owner wanted a heavy duck gun that may have been similar to a 8 gauge. For me they are a extremely interesting part of the golden age of duck hunting.
