Re: WWII WILDFOWL Discovered
Denver, I am glad you joined in this new conversation. I was just reading your post from May 2021. I do know from Jim Stubbendieck that neither of my two Wild Fowls that were sent to the Rochester Ordnance District were recorded as Wild Fowl in the ledger. With that being said I am very much interested to learn if you discovered what the V.A. 2116 markings indicated on your WF ser# 199729? The reason I ask is that I have found another Wild Fowl shotgun with V.A. 2119 stamped onto the lock plate. This Wild Fowl ser# is RE198789. It is marked Wild Fowl on the lug with all the appropriate war time markings, plus the reinforced loop, 32 inch barrels, ejectors, and surprise...all the numbers match... unlike the forearm on my WF #197628. Please let me know if you have discovered the origins of the V.A. markings. Thanks Mike dmdean4@yahoo.com
