I posted this once before but have now aquired the serial number and reworded the title in hopes of attracting a bit more info. To those who responded to my first inquiry, and to those who may respond to this one, I thank you.
I'm looking at buying this Model 97, but the seller and I don't really know a fair value. The gun has the US/flaming bomb stamp on the left side of the receiver and also the flaming bomb on the top of the barrel.
My question is, did the U.S. Government stamp these insignia on both trench guns and riot guns?
The shotgun has no heat shield or bayonet mount and doesn't look like it ever did so I'm assuming its a Military Riot Shotgun or was there such a thing?
The serial number is: 928072
Thoughts?
