Thank you all for the information above. I have the answer to my questions thanks to you. My 10ga. has 32"crown steel barrels, and now I know how many were actually made. In the big Smith book"The Legend Lives" it says 25 10ga. were made. That's misleading. Does that mean there were 25 receivers made but only 12 were finished as guns?
Yes it will go up for sale but not just yet. The information is useful and will aid in the sale someday...maybe my kids. My main concern is that eventually it go to someone who will value it as I do.
