A friend in town asked me about this. The family history/legend has it coming over from Sweden some years ago, he is 82 now and it was his grandfathers shotgun. I don't know if grandfather brought it with him on the boat or acquired it later.
There is no visible markings on the barrel or receiver other than a Swedish proof mark. it is 20 gauge and has been used for hunting, the last time about 60 years ago. I didn't remove the handguard as tools were going to be necessary. It's on there tight. The wedge comes out ok, but the wood is stuck.
The bore is mostly free of rust, however it is rifled with a straight design, possibly for slugs? It has rifle type sights.
At this point he wants to ID the gun, pending any interest by his son of keeping it.
