Hi everyone,

My grandfather and I would go dove hunting every opening day (September 1st in Arizona). He would use a .410 shotgun and just stand in one spot all morning. He placed a paper bag in front of him and would just patiently wait until a dove was close enough to drop it directly in the bag. I never saw him actually get one in the bag, but he hit the side of the bag a couple of times. Just just stood there and smoked his cigar until it was time to shoot.

Meanwhile, I recently inherited his shotgun. I would like to know more about it and have read many posts about using the markings to understand it better. I am completely confused by the markings and cannot make heads or tails from it, so I thought I would just upload some pictures of it and let the experts tell me what it it.

I know it is a Model 211, but I would like to know what grade and what year it was built. I have no interest in selling it, but would really like to know its history.

Can you take a look at the pics of the markings and tell me more about it please? Here is the link to the image:
