It does not possess any of the characteristics that come with age. I am often wrong, but I don't think it's old at all. In fact I think I have socks which may be older.

True, it shows very little age, and even less use.

Rumor is they were imported to the US in the 1950's. Being a 36 gauge, it obviously hasn't seen much (if any) use. I've actually found hen's teeth while looking for load data and components!

I didn't join the world until the late 1950's, so I don't recall these guns being imported or on the market. I am hoping more seasoned shooters might recall them.

Thing is, if it's relatively current production, one would think I could locate something on the manufacturer, other than the usual dead-end internet hits.

The G cartouche indicates 1928-1959.
