H&R 32 Gauge?
I am preparing to auction-off an H&R 32 Gauge (14mm) from my father-in-law's collection, but I am confused in its exact identification. My father-in-law identified it as a Model 1900, but I find conflicting information in the bluebook. The bluebook says the 1900 was only available in 12, 16, and 20 gauge sizes and was a two piece takedown using a removable hinge pin. Every thing seems to be right for it to be a Model 1905 which apparently was available in 32 Gauge (14mm). However, the Model 1905 was only manufactured until 1916. This gun has a serial number of A50634, and I have been told the "A" prefix was not used until 1940. That possably would make it a Model 1915, which was manufactured until 1942. However, the Blue book does not list the Model 1915 being available in the 32 Gauge configuration. I am including photos. If anyone can confirm the ID I would appreciate it.
Thanks
