Thomas:
I have JUST the same gun you describe in my safe. Bought it by accident after Jim Supica at Old Town Station described it as " unknown maker extremely heavy 12g". After I got it, I sent him a note explaining it was a 10 Mag. He replied that that explained why it was so heavy.
I kept it for when I needed tube Air Defense Artillery.
Built circa mid=50's, has a Belgian year mark Greek Letter "gamma", which I think means 1956 - I am out of town and I don't have access to my notes about the date codes.
The gun is solid, workmanlike, heavy and serviceable.
Did I say it was heavy? Which is a good thing for a 10 magnum. It swings nicely.
