Hi Ted,
The s/n is 8C945 (possibly 8G945) and it has 11 'roundels' on the barrel flats (row of 4 and a row of 7) and I think this makes it a V21 as you state. I have corrected the model designation in the original post (having done my research which I should have done before posting). Thanks for pointing this out. I can't see a signature.
When I bought it (very cheaply about 20 years ago) it had a VERY perished rubber pad and was rather abused and dented.
I sent it to William Powell & Son (Birmingham, UK) and had the stock extended for me, the barrels had the dents removed and it was reblacked to 'English best'.
Its a pretty gun - and I respect the engineering, but find it a handful to shoot even with very light loads. But then - here in the UK, we tend to use much lighter loads and I suspect be more 'sensitive' to recoil!
I was particularly pleased with the job they did on the extension - the other side is if anything an even better match. Peter Powell I know was rather pleased to get such a good match.
Best rgds,
John
