Default Identification help needed

Hi,

Name is James. A little back ground first. the gun was bought by my great grandfather as a gift for my grandfather. They were farmers in Oklahoma. The gun has been handed down through the years and it was my dads plan to identify and value it for sale. I joined the Navy and came home many years to late to help him. He passed without the knowledge. The gun is in what I would call working farm condition, nicks, dings and a ton of character. She isn't the prettiest but she's the toughest lady at the ball, so to speak. My dad told me that the gun was used as a farm/subsistence gun and was a family favorite. I have looked and tried identifying the gun but its beyond my knowledge. Its a 12g. 32 inch laminated barrel. All parts match and are original except for one hammer screw which is true to the period but not to the gun. Medium patina that still shows the laminated barrel marks. bore is pretty clean and does not appear to be pitted or rusted. The breach is a tiny bit loose but locks tight enough with shells loaded to fire. Checker is worn pretty smooth but still shows. Engraving is faded but visible and intricate. The gun has been restored or touched up and has not been fired since my dad got it over 70 years ago.
