Production numbers

[JAY SHACHTER]

Does anybody know how to find production numbers for the different grades and gauges of Model 21's? Is there any published data showing production numbers?

I have a Model 21 Skeet Grade in 16ga. and am wondering how many were made compared to 20ga. or 12ga. guns in the same grade. Were the majority of Skeet Grades produced with a pistol grips or straight grips?

Appreciate any help I can get. I do have the Schwing book and do not see the data there.

Thanks,

Jay

Unfortunately I don't think anyone has the answer on how many skeet, trap, deluxe, etc. grades were actually made. The way the M21 records were recorded did not specify a specific column for the grade. Then of course, in the Custom Shop, anything the customer wanted would be built. The records were recorded pretty much the same way here. One would have to basically take all available records that exist and just start counting skeet grade until they came up with a total.
