Stan:

Thank you for that. This one seems to be a rather unique combination of items (3E, HOT, vent rib, 3-inch, ejectors, beavertail, and pre-1913). I guess I had thought the 3-inch guns were much later?

Yeah, Mr. Vicknair was pretty unkind to Elsie. If you're taking about a hard-used, un-cared for, 1940s Plain-Jane Field Grade with a broken stock then maybe I can understand his frustrations. The better (& earlier) guns seem to have alot more going for them.
