Here's a shotgun I've had for a year now. Was my my other Grandfather's and after he passed, my father took it knowing that I have an interest in such things.
Seems pretty clean and well cared for. It'll likely never leave my family, but I'd be curious to know the age (serial 727214), and value, if anyone can let me know. In the past 40 years it's may have only been used once, when my dad's brother-in-law brought him to a skeet shoot.
Family lore says that it and some other guns he once had were used fairly regularly for a few years, but that he stopped hunting after being nearly shot by another hunter. No further details have been forthcoming regarding that incident.
It has a few minor dings in the wood.
And I'd be curious if anyone had any idea how these two marks would have come about. It's the only real damage to the metal I've seen.
Any other info about this gun would be appreciated. I'm taking out in a couple hours to put a few rounds through it for the first time and will report back.
