Help to Identify Shotgun Please

altnutt
Hello,

I need some help to identify who made this shotgun. There are no markings on it other than some serial numbers. 37807 on frame at the stock and 34?12 at barrel. Anyone know who made this?

    Stevens model 520, a Browning design at that.

    Speculation only:
    They made a lot of these for hardware stores under assorted brand names. Yours without any name and mismatched numbers indicates a parts gun; perhaps made up by putting a longer barrel on a surplus trench or riot gun and then buffing it hard.

    Is there any way I can date this? Do you think it has any value as is? Thanks Hawk.

    520's were made over a 35 year period, as late as Trench Guns for the U.S. military in the 40's.

    Even in excellent condition the standard versions, ( not the Trench Guns ) aren't big buck items. There is just no collector demand/value for them.

    I agree with Rufe...there were so many made that collector interest is limited to the militarily marked shotguns. Good shooters, just not very rare.
