martindd Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Anyone any idea on age of this Master shotgun, after googling looking for a letter and number combination to find year but can't see such a number? I've found a website which shows years to various codes, also I think the ** and *** on the barrels represent 1/2 and 3/4 choke?

triumphant59 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Unfortunately your photographs aren't clear enough. The date code will be on the barrel flats and will be a letter followed by *1 or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
