I have a Model 97 with the US Markings "Bomb" on the chamber left side. It has a G.H.D. with emblem crossed cannons on the left side of the stock, serial # 9383XX and it is all stainless steel or nickel, (not sure), I was wondering; when this gun was produced? and where? what field units it was issued to? Also what these markings meant on the left cheek of the stock, and on the reciever of this Model 97 shotgun?
I was wondering if it was for a military supply depot, a navel unit, parade gun, a fielded military unit or something like that?
Here's some other data on the gun:
On side of barrel at receiver:
MODEL 97 Winchester 12 GA.
2-3/4 CHAM.
CYL.Bottom of receiver @ magazine: E 9383XX
Overall length: 40"
What do I have here?
