This lot features a U.S. Steven Model 620A 12 Gauge Pump Action Shotgun. The shotgun features a 23 1/2" barrel, weaver choke, and walnut stocks. The Model 620 was introduced in 1927 and is a streamlined version of the original 520. The safety was initially located inside the trigger housing just like the Model 520 but by 1929 it had been changed to a cross-bolt located behind the trigger. The stock was attached by a bolt connecting the receiver and trigger tangs through the grip of the stock. Initially the 620 was only offered in 12 gauge but a 16 gauge followed in 1928 and a 20 gauge was introduced in 1930. John Browning filed a patent for a “hammerless” shotgun with a unique take-down barrel and locking breech block on 10 Jul 1903, it was approved on 7 Feb 1905 and along with a separate 27 Aug 1907 patent, that applied to the connection between the slide arm and the fore end, became what would be the Stevens. This shotgun looks to be marked for military use, with the proper flaming bomb marks and correct locations. The shotgun shows good condition, with wear to bluing and handling marks. This was mostly likely a surplus sold shotgun and has been modified from original configuration. This is a Curio & Relic firearm. FFL transfer or NICS background check required. The serial number is 18452
