Default Re: Mossberg .22s Anyone?

Looking for more of Mossberg's FIRST gun, the Brownie. There are three known Variations, those I've got, but there could always be a FOURTH Variation show up. Maybe you've got that very gun stashed away somewhere?

UPDATE! PLEASE NOTE: That elusive FOURTH Variation has been discovered and was named Variation #2.5, because its newly noted differences fall between the Variation #2 and Variation #3. It was only discovered very late in 2009. The easiest way to learn if you have one is to make sure the patent info on the right side is dated July 27 1920; and that there is NO alignment pin in the top center of the right sideplate; and NO serial number on bottom of the butt.

Also will buy any Brownie marked PAT'D. JAN. 27, 1920 on right side of barrels - IF the price is reasonable. And, I'm always looking for any Brownie items like vintage ads (photo below), original boxes, original Instruction Manuals, etc.. FloridaFialaFan
