I was just wondering...

Of course there was a Model of 1917 revolver (two actually)...

There was a Model of 1917 bayonnet...

There was a Model of 1917 Rifle (actually issued in greater numbers than the Model of 1903!)...

Given that the US Army also issued shotguns with short barrels for use in the close confines of the trenches, is it possible there was a Model of 1917 shotgun?

Could this be what confused the folks at the gun shop?
