Bill,

I very much doubt that he shot skeet with this particular gun, the barrels are 30” but very tightly choked, choke measures .047 in each barrel

It is more of a sporting/hunting configuration in my opinion, maybe trap, although a trap gun in my opinion would have more options.

30” barrels, extra full chokes, double triggers, ejectors, splinter fore end.

A Cody letter did not reveal much, only that it is a 7 with ejectors, all the dates as it passed thru the different setions of the shop, soft fit, stocker, polish, engraver, assembly, hard fit, and then to brown. It was taken out for high grades in April 1941 and finished in December 1946, 5 year period. It is a very late NID, very close to the end of double era on Falls Creek.

Last line states it was for Lewis P. Kalb
