Gallyon's has replied that the serial # sequence this gun (O/U SLE) belongs to is missing. That confirms a provenance letter from Scott's circa 1950 that David T has provided that mentions these records were lost in the war. Am checking with other sources but it appears factory records are gone for this gun, and quite a number of mid-'20s W&C Scott-badged guns as well.

Roy H: my e-mails to you are bouncing back. We may have to do it the old-fashioned way. If there is a Western Union station nearby I will send telegraph. Stop. Watch for In'juns.
