I have two 8ga. guns that fall into the catagory that Chuck is requesting information on. Both are 6 frame.
One is S/N 102592. Stamped on the water table is 2 over the serial number and G under the serial number. This gun is not listed in TPS page 1003 8ga. production records but is listed in the serialization book. This gun is accompanied by a PGCA research letter dated May 6,2006 stating that it was completed July 1, 1901. According to stock book #36 it was a GH hammerless 8 ga.
The other gun is S/N 107229. Stamped on the water table is 2 over the serial number and G under the serial number.The engraving is standard G engraving with two birds on both sides and the bottom of the receiver. This is a 1901 gun according to page 1000 of TPS. It has 40" damascus barrels.-----BUT, this gun is listed on page 1003 of TPS, and in the serialization book as being a D grade 40" gun. At this writing I do not have a research letter. I can't explain why it is listed as a D grade.---Daryl Middlebrook
