Joe, Has there been a determination as to the DOM on your Cashmoor? Appears that it was made prior to 1939 as mentioned by the one post. Doesn't anyone have a production schedule on the Cashmoors? The two serial numbers listed are 20003 and 20600 and you mentioned yours being 400 off of mine. Odd that 3 guns are within the same year of production show up at the same time. Nice to know when that year was. EverD..Is your gun set up for 2 5/8" or 2 3/4" chambers and what payload was it proofed. Randy

My gun is actually 3" chambers proofed for 1 3/8, "choke and 'choke, which seem to be IM and Full. There is a small T stamped on the underside of the rib. It was also made for Kirkwood Bros.

Congrats on a nice gun. I looked at that one and now I wonder why I hesitated. The pics on Cherry's site do not do that gun justice. If it's a pigeon gun I would expect it to shoot high. Great find IMO. truly lovely gun designed to shoot woodpigeon on a flight line. they're rather tasty if you don't mind darker meat. my favorite was spaghetti pigeonnaise.  it's too bad there are none to be shot where you live.

I was going by the serial numbering in Nigel Brown's volume 3 and the fact that there was no date letter code. Lagopus.....

Lagopus Is 13 over 1 a date code? If not where might the code be found? Randy

Lagopus Is 13 over 1 a date code? If not where might the code be found? Randy Hi, the 13 over 1 in a diamond is the bore size. This mark was used under the 1925 Rules of Proof. If the diamond had a 12 in it, then the bore was .729, 12 over 1 a bore of .740, 13 over 1 .719 and 13 .710 The date code should be stamped on the bbls. All the best! Greg

Greg, Inside the diamond is a 12 over C, just like Joes. What bore size does that represent. The 13 over 1 is on both sides of the barrel flats adjacent to the ejector bars. What? Thanks for your help. Randy

Hi Randy, the bore is .719 (or was at the time of proof). The 12C in the diamond is the gauge size for the gun. 12 the bore and C for chamber, not choke. There is also a LC which means long chamber. A diamond mark with a 12C would cover guns with a bore size of 12 or 13.
I messed up, the 13 over 1 won't be in a diamond, sorry, I got my wires crossed.
All the best!
Greg

The 12 over C refers to the the 12 ga. chamber being 2 3/4" or less when proofed. Nothing to do with the bore size.The 13/1 specifies that the bore,9 in.from the breech,was somewhere between .719 and .729 when proofed. Terry
Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought stupid,than open it and confirm.
