Encountered a nice 12 guage Nitro Special on Calguns C&R marketplace subforum that I've never seen. It's a 28" 12 with SN 192XXX in very nice condition w/most of the CC intact. He thought it was a 1928 gun.

But it has bold scrolls engraved on the "balls" of the breech (not sure that's the correct term, but it's what I've heard 'em called) and nowhere else that I could see in his pretty good pix. Is that little touch factory work?

(I exhorted this guy to consult your worships on this forum, for his pricing question; remember he's in Richifornia if he pipes up....).
