I noted in my years of searching out these guns, that the higher grade, optioned guns, especially those with vent ribs, were the guns where you’d encounter the longer barrels (28”). The 410 4-E in this discussion originally went to New York City. It’s fun to speculate what the buyer was thinking when they placed their order!

NID-28. I may have some insight into this. Please check your PM.
