Hello,
My future brother-in-law has brought me three shotguns and one pistol to inspect. He would like to know if they are suitable for use and value, if any.
I don't know much about the older guns so I thought I would ask around here.
Here's the info:
1. Ithica Featherlight 20 gauge pump shotgun, serial 6350X-X stamped on the barrel, no serial on receiver, lightly rusted (easily cleaned up), good wood, engraved duck scene on both sides of receiver.
2. Remington pump 20 gauge (it looks like an early model 870), serial U 982XX, rusted with cracking stocks, action release is a button on the right side of the receiver instead of along the trigger guard, the barrel is locked in place with an odd system - it's not a screw on cap like modern shotguns.
3. Savage Arms Springfield Model 944 single shot break action 20 gauge, serial P4517XX, light rust good stocks
4. Colt Woodsman .22LR semi-auto pistol, serial 950XX on front strap, rusty but functional, appears to have original stocks and magazine.
Thanks for any info that you can provide.
Tony
