There may be a few more out there than what is listed in TPS. Stock books 13,18, and 20 are missing. The Serialization book does not have the grades 0, 1 and 2 where the stock books are missing. It does have the grade 3 or higher. Most of these guns were in the lower grades.
I suspect these guns were the early trap guns and were being used at the traps in NYC which is where they were all going. They had more drop than the latter trap guns but the higher stocks came 5 to 10 years latter. Guns with less that 2 1/2 inches of drop in this time period are hard to find.
