Thanks Gordon. I was aware of that information in general but haven't seen it all put together like this. Mine is certainly no safe queen. I use it for bird hunting and drag it through the brambles and stick it in the snow such as in my avatar. Only thing I've done is to lacquer the receiver in an attempt to protect the case colors a bit and that didn't seem to last long.. it's a shooter in my book. I was a bit surprised when I bought it that the seller had no idea that it was S/N 28-1. They hadn't even looked at the S/N. Hadn't even cleaned the barrels! They had been fired and not cleaned. And this from one of the oldest and most famous dealers in the US.
