A gun in the 237,000 range can have research material available in both the stock books and the IBM cards, either of which could have a notation about the lack of engraving. The gun in Muderlak is an earlier gun (1907) that is noted in the order books. The order book entry shows both the name of the first owner, the notation about the lack of engraving, and the amount credited for the lack of engraving. Some or all of this information may possibly be shown in a PGCA letter on the 20 gauge VHE. I sure would like to see that letter.
