Can't wait for your next book, Mike!! It needs to be a coffee table book, about 20x30", full color, leather covers, silk ribbon markers, slip cased...
Hell, I'd buy two!

Thanks Ryan, Me posting pictures in color is part of of the process for working on the "Big Book". Trying to get an idea of how I should do things.

NSN (no serial number) is a legitimate log in option for FFL holders in recording guns in their book. Griffin and Howe, Sedgley, and other Springfield sporters with a stippled front bridge are routinely entered on 4457 forms by whatever number is available, including NSN.

Griffin and Howe, Sedgley, and other Springfield sporters with a stippled front bridge are routinely entered on 4457 forms by whatever number is available, including NSN. > Yes I've been logging them in that way for almost 40 years. Was just wondering if in some of MP's research he may have come accross something that indicated when the Gov'mnt decided it wasn't legal anymore to remove, move, modify or alter an existing serial numbers. That would have changed G&H and the others sporterizing modification practices re: the ser#'s. I thought it might be somewhat helpfull in dateing some of the custom pieces if a year was known and the modifications were present or not. > GCA'68 is eccentially a rewrite of FFA'39. The only major thing that the '68 law added re:ser#'s was that 22rf long guns and all shotguns must have ser#'s. Everything else mfg in the USA before that time was already required to be ser#'d. But I can only find such language back as far as the 1939 Fed law.

I saw a Surkamer Seven at the Reno gun show last December. No one knew what it was.

Anyone have anything to add on Ned Moran.....a very interesting rifle at the Denver show. Barrel marked re-barreled by G&H. A fellow collector thinks the woodwork in by Ned Moran. I do not know who built it but what I do know is the stocker had a much, much better eye for good lines than any rifle I ever saw come out of G&H.....very svelte. I'll try for pictures tomorrow.

I have a single barrel trap gun by Stannard and Moran, of Chicago, I think.  Photo of Mathew Moran
