I was fortunate to purchase a 2" 12 gauge last year. I had never seen one but the opportunity arose and I made a quick decision to add it to my collection. It is marked "Kimball Arms Co Woburn Mass", "for 2 inch case only", "Grade A", "Made in England" and "20th Century".
There is little doubt that the gun was made by Skimin & Wood as the gun's serial number falls in line with the numbers used by that maker for the year 1937.
It weighs 5 lb 3.3 oz, has a LOP of 14 1/8", 27" barrels choked modified and full and proofed for 7/8 oz of shot.
I loaded a handful of shells about a month ago using a conservative amount of 7625 powder and 7/8 oz of shot together with a plastic shotcup with the petals clipped off, and a rolled crimp. When the weather improves I will give the gun a go at some clay targets.
I have a picture ready to post but can't figure out how to do it. Hopefully, another day.
Bill
