Recieved this gun from my father some years ago.It was given to him by my mother,who had bought it on a time payment plan of $5.00 a paycheck.That was back in the late 50's,and it was given as a xmas gift.
The gun is stamped Win 12 12ga on the barrel,and is also engraved Specialty grade on the left side of the reciever.Sr #1034307.
It is engraved on the left side with a squirrel,and a running bunny on the right.The engraving is done in gold leaf.The top of the barrel is also engraved in gold leaf.
I have not been able to this time to find this shotgun in any books,and have never found this engraved pattern anywhere.
Does anyone know what this is,and what it may be worth?
