Hello folks,
I see there are lots of posts concerning serial numbers. After much hair pulling, I regret I must add another. I'm trying to research some information on my father's 1100. His serial number is M199768V. The only barrel marking (I verified it is the original barrel) we found was PZ35 (on left side of barrel near receiver). I can't make heads or tails of this data. According to the serial number data, PZ means the gun was made before 1100s were ever produced. He purchased it new sometime in the early 1970s but can't remember for sure. The original barrel was a 30" full choke ventilated rib. The receiver and trigger areas have decorative scroll work on them. Please help!
Very Respectfully,
Major G
