Hey, guys... A family member inherited a Savage 220A single barrel 12ga shotgun from his father.

It's in fairly good shape with a clean bore.

Anyway, he's a great guy and feels really honored to be given the firearm.

Would anyone know when the gun might have been manufactured?

I looked it over and found a circle with what I believe is a 140 in it, on the left side of the frame. There is also a circle with what looks like a 270 in it, on the barrel. Other than that there are no other numbers.

Any help would, as always, would be appreciated.

Best regards,

Kobsw
