Family owed guns for over 25 years. My dad would never let us shoot them. So any info on them would be really great and thank you to whoever can help with this. My email is leetacito@yahoo.com if there is anything else you need or want to know and thank you again. Gun one I believe is a 16 gauge serial number FW38009 Second gun I believe is a 12 gauge serial number 336509

Your dad had good taste David The 16g is on a Featherweight frame and should be marked Field on the top of the R barrel. It was manufactured in 1921 and would have 2 9/16" chambers. The 12g is a Regular frame No. 00 made in 1911, with 2 3/4" chambers. Please look through the FAQs for lots of information https://lcsca.clubexpress.com/content.aspx?page_id=274&club_id=43784 A Research Letter on the 16g might document to where the gun was originally shipped https://lcsca.clubexpress.com/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=43784&module_id=245742 Of course both guns need to be evaluated by a qualified doubles gunsmith before use. The smith can measure the chokes and confirm the chamber lengths.
