Probably built on a Scott barreled action. If so, the serial number dates it to 1924. Since Hoffman was located in Ardmore, approximately from 1925 - 1930, such a hypothesis would seem reasonable.

The minimum barrel wall thicknesses are: R: .037"  L: .035".

The bores measure R: .734"   L: .733".

 The English proof for 1 1/8oz shot is the counterpart of 2 ½” chambers. Someone, possibly Hoffman, has lengthened them to 2 ¾”.
