Hi Moosedog. It's one of the centerpieces for sure. I've got 4 pre-wars at present. They're all nice, not sure I could choose between them. Some more pics below.
I also have an 8 3/8" barrel post war gun. It's the only one we know of. It was purchased for the then secretary of the NRA as a retirement present and engraved with his name at the factory. The NRA asked that it have an 8 3/8" barrel, so it went back to the factory and one was fitted.
The gun has been up in Oshkosh WI for some gunsmithing for 4 YEARS now! I'm planning to get it back in the next few weeks, one way or another.
Enjoy.
Dave
