Dave is right. This gun is probably way later than 1953. Check the date codes on the breech end of the barrel for the proper date of manufacture. Great gun. I still have a few. Well, maybe more than a few. Killed a resident Canada Goose with one in October. Ran 100 straight in our Maryland State NSSA Shoot with a Sun Light (maple stocked) 20 gauge a few years ago, but lost in the shootoff because I thought I should use a real skeet gun. I missed on the first pair of the shootoff with my Krieghoff.
