That isn't a "3"
Looks like the letter "S" the more I examine it under strong light.
So this is a Birmingham-proofed, Belgian-made 12 ga. shotgun made before 1904?
Sure wish I could put an exact date of mfg on it.
Was I right in guessing it takes 2 1/2 in. shells?
Am I correct in saying the notch in the muzzle of the left barrel indicates a different choke than the right? The metal is definitely thinner around the left muzzle. That might account for the different numbers on the underside of the barrels too (13 and 14).
