Can anybody help identify this shotgun from an estate? 12 gauge, double triggers, extractors, 2 5/8 inch chambers,no mfg marks of any kind. Excellent shape, tight lockup.
Thanks

No idea. All numbers match, barrels bored full and cyl. Absolutely no mfg name, import marks, country of origin etc. I was hoping maybe someone might recognize the proof marks.

Thanks. I read your referenced thread and this one,does appear very similar. I would suspect other than European origin due to the relative lack of proof marks. This one also has the offset front tang screw.

Not sure @ all on the export number of 40127440062. Others I see are:

4410838002
49107380073

I'm curious if yours was manufactured by Kasuga?

I sense a Japanese copy here- just a "SWAG" of course.

Are the exaggerated control numbers a post WWll American occupation addition?
The stamps in the various pictures are uncannily similar.

Might be a record somewhere if they are.


Out there doing it best I can.
