Military Model 11?

[Gamemaster32]

Greetings Gents:

I realize they're not all that uncommon...but how about in 16 ga.?

Haven't physically viewed it yet, but have been informed it is a Model 11 16 ga. "26 inch, U.S. Marked" in the 1.54m serial range.

Have not found as much as a mention of 16 ga. in any of my references or online. If it is as reported, possibly a sporting model from a military installation's recreational "Special Serivices"...or a fake one should stay away from?

It originally came from an extremely knowledgeable and "legitimate" collector who only had the rarest & best.

What say you

By the lack of responses I'm likely not the only one uncertain about this one.

Anyway, it's no longer an issue as it's no longer available. The seller informed me they were in fact 16s; they, meaning two sequentially numbered ones!

I did manage to find a nice '43 aerial trainer though.
