I aquired this stevens hammer coach gun that appears decent but I noticed under the hand stock or grip under barrels has a serial # 16382. I was told that the old coach guns of this type had no serial #s but I was told by a reputable dealer that it was not a 1968 repro. I could find nothing substantial thru research to find out. Its beautiful but has small bubble crack in the outside frame on the finishing. Um--Is this an original and is that crack affecting the safety or the integrity of the steel or is this just an outside plate. I know very little about shotguns.
