Researcher as I herd it from Al and another gentleman in West Virgina. Mr. Dewey built the gun in his on gun shop the gun has a corse chericking pattern the resciver is done in a nice blue not casehardened like my marked guns I guess Mr.Dewey did not have the means to case harden. Or he may have done the gun in the last few months of operation and kelp the gun for himself till 1959. I do now he maid #1825 and the gun he is holding in the pic for himself. Al was a personal friend to Mr. Dewey and had seen the gun at his home in West Virgina. Mr.Dewey was up in years when Al meet him and he only had a one room gun shop where he had a lot of Three barrel gun parts. Al got all the barrels and parts when Mr. Dewey passed away in 1962.
