Question on barrel stamps and chamber
Posted: Tue Mar 13, 2018 1:37 pm
Hey all,
Quick question on my dad's 12 gauge 1928 Sterlingworth he gave me, serial # 116xxx. Since all the recent topics on chamber length and barrel stampings, I have a question or two on his/my model.
Under the barrel, each chamber is stamped with 3. And there is a concave square next to the serial number. Does this mean the chambers are for 3 inch shells? And what is the other stamping? It's nothing fancy as far as grades go and the top of the barrel is stamped "Sterlingworth Fluid compressed steel" and "Made By A.H. Fox Gun Co. Phila.Pa, U.S.A.
Pictures attached and thank you all!
