Ranger 20 gau double barrel shotgun. The serial # is stamped into every metal and wooden part of the gun; the barrel is stamped, the forestock is stamped and the metal inlay that afixes the forestock to the barrel is stamped as is the stock. Patent says c2.1915 stamped into the side of the barrel above the trigger mechanism. According to my dad, he bought it at Sears and Roebuck when he was a lad, probably in the late 20's or early 30's. (he died at 92 yrs in 1999) He also said it was the first shotgun Sears sold without hammers and a Damascus barrel. I also have a Remington .22 short,long and long rifle, bolt action, tube feed. ser # is 5 digits, no model name. Has a Lyman 55R peep sight. Dad said he bought this about the same time give or take a couple years.
