I recently came into a 1948 Repair Price List. It is a fold out and has starting from the top, New or extra set of barrels, goes from Hammer, Fulton, all grades and single barrel trap gun, to the last thing of Recaseharden Frame and Parts. Gives the standard stock dimensions and below that is where I found it intresting.
In the Following are Prices for All Grade Guns: Blue locks and frames $12.50 So now I do believe that some have blued recievers and sideplates, and could be ordered from the factory as such.
Any thoughts from people that have them or know of them. I found this ironic because I have a 1925 Field Grade Longrange Wildfowl that has blued reciever and sideplates, don't like it, but don't know what to make of it now.
