Where can one find data on J. P. Clabrough Bros. SXS SN- K239 such as manufacture date, number produced etc. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Larry Shelton is the author, his information is on the contact link

I found him to be quite helpful

Reinforce what Rick said. Larry is very helpful and his book has several methods, beside serial numbers, such as barrel address, proof Mark's, and hammer type to narrow down the year of manufacture.

The challenge is they reused serial numbers over the years but by combining the serial number, barrel address and proof marks together it will allow more accuracy in helping you determine the year of manufacture.

Thank you for your quick replies.
