It's hard to tell for certain, but I'm bettin' that it's a 12 on a 2-frame. I could be wrong of course. Wild Skies Since 1951

Probably some water damage in the butt area. With original length barrels and good bores, you could feel safe bidding $550. It's no collectors item, but probably a nice shooter.
