Wandering around the show during set up on Friday I spied this old Prewar Heavy Duty. When I 1st saw it I thought it was a Outdoorsman. Anyways after inspection I put it back down and walked away. Getting old s u c k s as my eyesight isnt what it once was and I thought the serial # was 55747. Slept on the decision to buy it over night and went back the next morning and bought it. On further inspection I decided the serial # was 35747 and sent an Email to Roy asking for a shipdate and made a statement that the gun had a 6.5" barrel. He responded back that the gun was shipped in June 1930 and that it originally had a 5" Barrel, Bummer I think I cried on a few shoulders Saturday Morning right Chris? Well after posting a few pictures on the other forum It was apparent to some that I still had the serial # wrong. It is 33747. Now I have a gun that is earlier than the range Heavy Duties were made. I resent an email to Roy and he reported back that the gun shipped as a heavy Duty in April of 1930. A 1st month gun. I have been looking for a April Gun as my Birthday was last Sunday. this one fits the bill :mrgreen:
