On the barrel it says Sears Roebuck and co. I cannot find a serial number (I would like to be informed about where this might be) because of the flawless condition should I be firing this gun? The Sears Model 21 in.410 was a version of the K-410 series Flight King Field shotgun, catalog #8450. It was produced between 1962 and 1965. The Sears model number can be found on the left side of the barrel, and will be either 583.2085, 583.2086 or 583.2087. This auction is for a Sears Model 66 12 ga. Semi-Auto shotgun, 2 ¾” chamber.

Sears model 21 pump shotguns were made by High Standard. The High Standard model designation is the K2011, also known as the Flite/Sport King.
They were manufactured between 1960 and 1966. Incorrect Model The K2011 was a 20ga shotgun, specifically the Flight King Deluxe. High Standard guns are characterized by Series (such as K2011) and then by catalog number which further defines exact features, barrel length, etc. The Sears Model 21 in.410 was a version of the K-410 series Flight King Field shotgun, catalog #8450.
It was produced between 1962 and 1965. The Sears model number can be found on the left side of the barrel, and will be either 583.2085, 583.2086 or 583.2087. Some shotguns were made for Sears Roebuck under contract with Winchester. A superposed made in 1970 would probably have been made overseas, as American craftsmanship had priced itself out of the market but for the very rich. If it's Japanese made, Miroku or others, you've got a gem.
(C heck proof marks for kanji, etc.) If it's Spanish made, it's a pig in a poke; some really good guns come from there, but their metallurgy was suspect in the postwar period in the more economic varieties. If Italian made, another possible gem. Unlikely that the Turks were exporting o/u's in the 70s, though they make some good ones, and Russia was still Commie back then, so Sears Roebuck would probably have not been trading with them, though two barrel shotguns (side by side and o/u) were the only permissable firearm for tens of thousands of Igors in the Street. And they made a lot of them. Hunting was still a recognized activity under the commissars. An acquaintence of mine who took a duck hunting trip to the famed marshes of Mother Russia in the post-Munich days almost had his own guns taken away by German airport police during a stopover; disassembled double guns checked through by wealthy Americans evidently rang their anti-Arab alarms. He never could get over the irony that once behind the (fast rusting) Iron Curtain, nobody gave him a second glance crossing Red Square with a shotgun case in his hands.
