I don't know much about them ecept what limited info i could find on my own. Here is the info I know: The barrels are both stamped with an "O", Nest to the serial number (28326) is an "H" stamp. The last Patent date shown is June 11-12. The shotgun is in pretty good shape, I am wondering what I have "REALLY" been given here? Thanks in advance.....

Include pics of the receiver flats and any writing and post them. You will get all the information you could ever want. If not, Happy New Year (er April 1st.) R. Craig Clark jakearoo(at)cox.net

They were made from 1923 to 1942. The first one was serial# 28069. It was made for John Olin, owner if Western Cartridge Company and future owner of Winchester Arms Company. He developed the Super X 3" Shell. What are the other markings stamped on the barrel flats and the frame? Looks like what you have been given is a hell of a good Christmas bonus! Ole Cowboy
