I can't see it in your pictures, but does it have the
PROOF TESTED--16 GAUGE --2 3/4 INCH CHAMBER-- stamping on the left barrel as shown here on this gun with ten digits higher serial number -- 376543 01.jpg That stamping begins appearing on some guns that letter to 1938 and is pretty universal on guns that letter 1939 and later. |

Yes it has. Very little though. I looks as though it has been hunted. The gun still retains more than 95% condition.
