Thanks. Took one or more of your advice and guess what, it IS a 32-40. They did build them, the proofs appear original, the loads are correct, and all else matches up. Obviously a gun for light game. Interesting comment was that these were done for more casual 'meat in the pot' use than real hunting, with not only light recoil but with a cartridge that was very cheap to buy and (at that time) produced by many companies. Since most of the more traditional nitro loads were expensive and from Kynoch or only a few others, it makes sense.

I have a penchant for lighter doubles in addition to the big honkers I already own, including 500NE and a great 476 Droplock. This one should be fun to shoot as well. Thanks Dave
