Thanks everyone. The info helps. Roger the SN # isn't on the receiver anywhere, it's on the right side of the barrel just under the rear sight. I'll probably sell it when I get a better handle on value. I'd love to keep it but it's too nice for me to take out in the Alaskan weather and at only 7 lbs 11 ozs the guy I got it from might be right about the recoil. I'm not recoil shy but I don't feel a strong desire to shoot it. The last photo shows both the shield and safe damage.
