Mr. Dana: The gun you have located is indeed the earliest (lowest Smith serial numbered 8ga gun to surface. Prior to 16053, the lowest serial numbered gun was 16463 - a Quality 2. Your Quality 3 is currently only the 4th Quality/Grade 3 to surface. Two are known by their serial number designation in the records books, one-gun, serial number 40542 is known to exist in a prominent collection. There is only one other 8ga known to exist without a safety. 8ga Smith guns were used in the live pigeon rings and for trap.
