I just received an envelope from the gentleman that owned 202811. He sent the Research letter dated October 6, 2010 and a picture of under the top lever. It also states gun was sent back for a beavertail forend.
Picture shows the exact picture I posted from Julia's but his picture was when he owned it showing the same lettering, A.E. Kra
Picture of lettering under top lever, I'm sure the rest of it is hidden under the top lever.
