My dad bought this in 1960 and it was old then. No markings except for double lines in a couple of spots.
36" barrels.
Any insight on the history of it? Age, manufacturer?

This man speaks the truth- that is truly cool.

Maybe look underneath the butt plate? or the inside of the lock(s)?

Hell on miniature trout and short round women.
