I recently bought the 12B Gallery Special in rough condition needing repair. I can fix it and have ordered the parts. I have found no letters on the barrel to get a date of manufacture. My guess is it is before 1921, the serial number is 369367. Could anyone venture a guess on its date by the number? I keep files on all my firearms so my Sons know what they have when I'm gone.
Thanks much,
Wayne

Den,
Thank you so much. Being new here I didn't know that page was here. If I can get this one to feed, fire and not jam I'll post photos. I may leave the stock as is so nothing is restored. I like survivors, as I am.
