To clarify, I'm not making up names of grips, just reporting what is listed in the I&S Book. As usual I should have explained further. The 1901 12 ga is serial number 103929. It is described in the I&S Book as "P", for pistol grip. I'll try to take better pictures after daylight.

[Dean Romig]

Jeff, does the letter say anything about that grip?

[Jeff K.]

Here are some guns with a half pistol grip.

Parker ball grips.

Dean,
The letter says a capped pistol grip.

Several years ago, Kevin McCormack and I examined a very high condition DHE 28 gauge with what we thought was an altered pistol grip stock. Its ball grip was very abbreviated with the ball half buried in the main part of the stock. It was an exaggeration of the POW that Jeff pictured. Now I'm not so sure that the grip on the 28 gauge was not factory. Maybe Kevin knows more than I do about the fate of that great little gun.

Jeff, give me the S/N of that Rem POW gun and I'll double check the books
