I contacted Bob Beach.
He has the record for the gun in his VL &D logs. It was a gun ordered for stock , with pigeon gun options ,upgraded steel barrels ( three ring Special Gun Barrel Steel ) and ejectors- listed for sale as VL&D 280E *
Is it unusual for the VL&D inscription not to appear on the gun, or was that addition curtailed sometime before A&F bought them out?
Bob will be sending me copies of all the paperwork flyer after Xmas.
Thank you for all your assistance.
Best regards,
JBP
