Re: WWII WILDFOWL Discovered
I have not discovered an answer but speculate that it is a unit or Depot number. A Rochester gun #199986 just sold at Rock Island for $8000 plus premium and tax! On the right lock plate is stamped ILL6120. One can guess that it was sent to a post or unit in Illinois. Mine may designate Virginia or Vermont or something consistent with that designation. My number is V.A. 2116, suggesting two words. My Research Letter also reports that it was not Wild Fowl in the records. Thus, the number grows.
