It would still be interesting to see photos if possible.

Here’s a few, let me know what you think!

According to the book, 18287, and 18288 were the same configuration, so it's entirely possible that the barrel and fore end got put on the wrong gun. The actual SN is that which is stamped on the receiver (as opposed to any other misc. part) so unless you were lucky enough to find 18288, you'll never know for certain. If you had my luck, you'd find 18288, and find it had barrels stamped 18289.

I just thought of another scenario. Both guns were ordered by the same hardware store, and got mixed up when they arrived.

Thanks for the info! I really appreciate everyones input!

I assume no evidence of a two barrel set.

With all the possible scenarios, I forgot to mention, The gun appears to be in very nice shape. Great case colors still showing prominently.
