WILDFOWL -Rochester Ordnance - Other barrel markings

Denver thanks for your reply. It does appear that there are several different variations of how these Ordnance shotguns were marked. Just from a limited observation it appears the earlier shipments or lower serial numbers have a more consistent marking with the initials, ordnance crest, and the flaming bomb. I can only imagine as time went on the markings became less formal with a greater sense of urgency to get the shotguns out to servicemen for training. If you would care to send me any photos you can link them here or send them to my email at dmdean4@yahoo.com. Thank you for adding to the conversation with your information.
