Geordiefarrier243 Posted July 24, 2022 Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) Does anyone on here know where I can find out some history about a W R Pape shotgun using its serial number? Thanks in advance! Edited July 24, 2022 by Geordiefarrier243 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted July 24, 2022 Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 Why have you placed this request for information in Other Sales? Old Boggy would probably be a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holloway Posted July 24, 2022 Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 Just out of interest and you are probably aware anyway there is a Scottish farrier named Pape,there may be a connection,I went to work for him 25 years ago near Inverness before I started my own business if I remember rightly he had broken his arm .

Dave, I sent him Rodney Ford`s details early this morning, but note that SPAS 15 has also given the details plus years for manufacture against serial numbers.

However, Tightchoke wasn’t rude, only pointing out that it was in the wrong section. TC is one of the most helpful guys on here as many will have already found out.
