I have recently purchased a sweet little 20 gauge field grade elsie. It has a roll type latch in the forend that I am not familiar with. If I'm reading your manufacture date file correctly the gun should have been made in approx. 1920. sn under 31,000. Can anyone tell me about the forend latch. The gun looks nearly unused except for a few scratches in the wood. Also there is an E in front of the serial number. What does this signify?
