According to Canfield’s book Complete Guide to US Military Combat Shotguns, page 146; the observed serial range is 69,400 to 88,250 but slightly higher or lower numbers may be encountered. Commercial models with scene were returned back from retailers for military use.

“It has a Poly Choke installed. After much discussion on whether or not the choke was installed on GI shotguns, I contacted Poly Choke. I was told that Poly Choke had a contract with the army to install their chokes on GI shotguns during the war. In fact, he said they still have the government equipment in their warehouse complete with documentation. I saw a show on the history channel on recreation for officers during WW2. There was a scene at a skeet range. All the shooters had humpback shotguns with Poly Chokes installed. My Dad also told me he shot skeet with a Poly Choke equipped shotgun when he was in the Army Air Corps.”
