My V,L&D mo. 300e is serial number 252699 .
Bob Beach, retired from Griffin and Howe, informed me that it was listed in their gun log immediately after the one Kirby has listed.
The log book shows it ( 252698) was sold in Nov 1929 to Newport News Shipyard - mine was sold to a Z.C.Patten .
I love mine and has accounted for numerous ducks with modern 2 3/4” bismuth #4s- I would buy it but I have a pair of Lindner Diamond 10 bore hammer guns currently being addressed.
Best Regards,
JBP
