I found an 1897 Trench Gun in a small gun store, but I have reservations about it. Serial number is 734xxx, so it was made in 1920. It is solid frame and has stock without a comb. Barrel is marked CYL and it looks like it had a bead on it at some time, now removed or ground down. Large US letters without periods are on the left side of the receiver with a flaming bomb. Flaming bomb also is on the barrel near the receiver. There is a GHD cartouche and ordnance stamp on the left side of the butt stock. The heat shield has six rows of holes. The butt plate is plastic. I would appreciate any thoughts on this. Is it a "made up" Trench Gun? Many thanks!
