1932.
Yeah, I was fortunate to luck into it. Traded a Jap Browning Sporting Clays even for this old gun, just because I liked the lines, the solid rib, how it was set up, etc.
Only later did I find out about the provenance. The shop I traded with wasn't too happy when they found out what they let slip thru their hands.
Oh well...
