Gene,

30227 also has a NOT FOR BALl stamp in the same place as the gun Daryl spotted. If you look at the top picture in this thread you will see ALL the rest being obscured by the front lump.

It also bears that CHOKE mark in a similar location. Unfortunately where the C&H mark appears on Daryl’s example the area has clearly been struck down in the course of re-sleeving.

A definite answer might lie in Cogswell and Harrison’s records (IF they kept a record of guns made by them for the trade). Edwinson Green built guns for London Sporting Park and recorded the London Sporting Park serial numbers he applied.

We will probably never know for certain, but the similarities in building have moved Cogswell and Harrison close to the top of my list of suspects.

Now, has anyone any ideas about the marking:-
