Well good, I'm glad you got it. I figured you'd diddle around too long and somebody else would snatch it up.
 Interesting speculation from the other fellows in the shop......... ???

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

Colidespel,
After looking at the pictures of the gun with the dismounted barrels, I'm thinking that the HL is probably not the maker but possibly an inspector's initials or those of the "barrel" maker. If they were the maker they would typically be on the top of the barrels. Either way, it appears to be a nice gun and 20 gauge makes it more desirable IMHO.
