[QUOTE="utvolsfan77, post: 5364536, member: 14847"] I think we may have siblings, or at least close cousins. I pulled the barrels from mine a few minutes ago and the proof marks on mine appear almost identical to yours. I also discovered that mine may not be a 16 gauge after all. If the number between the proof marks is accurate, it appears to be a 15 gauge. There are several other similarities I noticed in looking at your photos a bit closer. Mine has several metal inlays that are engraved with a lot of scrollwork. There is also a brass oval on the bottom of the buttstock, just like on yours. I'm assuming that was for the owner's initials. Any idea of how old mine actually is? I previously guessed it was made in the 1930s but now I'm thinking it may be much older than that.[ATTACH type="full" alt="100_7040.JPG"]138871[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="100_7041.JPG"]138870[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
