Post by dennyibrandt »

Used gun exclusively from 1963 to 1972. Rechambered it to 3" for duck marshes, Mississippi bottoms ,and Horicon.By 1972 ducks had loosened action;also got married in `72 ,and sold gun for $275. Old jeweler engraved my name on plaque and inlaid it on right side of stock. Plaque was about 2" long, quarter inch high, and necked down at each end......Ever see it??????

Got the serial number, Denny?

I bought a 32" A grade that has 3" chambers, and has been restocked, about 10 years ago. It had been re-cased and tightened up.

I bought mine from Jay Schacter at Vintage Firearms, Inc. in Grand Rapids, back before he had a name for the business. Here's how this one ended up:

No way of knowing if it is the same gun w/o the serial number.

All my best, Stan
