Jim, I am so glad that I found this forum and joined this organization.Thanks to your post on this subject, I found out that I own "ONE" of only 326 3e 16 ga, Elsies that were made. To boot, it has ejectors! It was made in 1902 and is in excellent condition and deadly on quail using 21/2" RST low pressure shells. My new L.C. Smith book has been ordered.
