-- Hard to say- as there is no serial number and Sears, like Monkey Ward and gamble-Skogmo have long ago dropped out of the mail order and retail shotgun business. I'm more inclined to think High Standard or Marlin- this one seems mechanically "all there" but after I repair the stock and re-assemble- I'll put about 25-30 12 ga. 2 & 3/4" Brenekke slugs through it from a Lead Sled- it is passes that test, it should be fine from the shoulder with a No. 6 HV lead load for Turkeys- this is only chambered for 2 & 3/4" shells as marked on the barrel- wonder if they made a 3" mag 12 gauge- maybe even the "Long Tom" with a 36" Pole Vaulting Special barrel? Quien Sabes, ey??
