That would help; if you would pick out a grade likely for the circumstances I will describe, and look it up.
Grade isn't defined in the story line because it would be out of character for the owner, who inherited it, to know much about it. It would not be a very high end gun, but would be better than a Trojan. Would have been a 12 or 16 gauge bought in the 1920s and used for hunting by a prosperous banker in a small town. And it would be in good used condition, prized and cared for by its original owner and not used at all since his death in 1955.
That would help
