What is the proper short form for information found on page 428-429 of Bunge v. First Nat'l Bank of Mount Holly Springs, P.A.?

Pinpoint citations shorten the ending page when the cited material spans pages in the same range. For a two-page span from 428 to 429, you write the ending page as 29, giving 428-29 after the volume and reporter. So the proper short form is Bunge, 118 F.2d at 428-29. This shows the information appears on pages 428 through 429. Choosing 427-29 would start at 427, which is incorrect for this material. Choosing 428-30 would imply the material goes to page 430, which is not accurate.
