My dad had a 16 ga. A-5 with serial number 1912.I always thought that meant the date of manufacture when I was growing up. When my dad was in his mid 80's unfortunately, he sold it for $250 to a cousin of my wife. I was very pissed at both my dad and wife's cousin and tried to find out who ended up with the gun but never did. I ended up buying a 12 ga. A-5 that was made in 1927 about 5 years ago that was in great condition but later sold it to a coworker that wouldn't stop begging me to sell it to him.
