A friend asked me to research 3 shotguns. Any input is appreciated especialy approximate date of manufacture.
1) Winchester 1911SL, 28" Full 12 GA w/ Hartford Polychoke. SN 70XXX, with swirled engraving on receiver and barrel to include a BIPLANE on the left side of the receiver and a person's name on the right side of the frame. This has a knurled area on the barrel which must be pushed down to open the action. Never seen such a shotgun.
2) Remington 12 GA 26" with Hartford polychoke, barrel marked imp. cyl. SN149XXX and looks like an Browning A5. No model number evident. Interesting stamp on right side of barrel REP in an oval with an anchor stamped next to it. Possible Navy connection?
3) Winchester Model 12 12 GA 30" Full barrel marked for Superspeed and Super X 3", SN 150XXX. This must be a duck or goose duck gun.
Thanks for any input, Bill
