I am hoping that someone can help me with some information and possibly an ID as to model and approximate value of an old gun fron ZH. The owner believes it to be from the 50's or early 60's as it was inheritted from their grandfather. No serial number has been found on the gun. It has double triggers, the bores are near perfect, the stock is in very nice shape with only minor handling wear and a few minor dents in the stock. The barrels are 32" long, all checkering appears to be handcut, and finally the safety lever is topped with a wood cap. Any help that can be given even if it is just pointing me towards a source to get the information I need is greatly appreciated.

I realize that this post is pretty old, but may be of some value. The model is probably a 213 or 213 Magnum (gauge not mentioned). The 32" barrel suggests that it likely is the 213 Magnum. The serial # is probably located on the block, under the barrels. You pretty much need to remove the barrels to read it. Mine was purchased new (made ?) in 1967. Pretty good guns, overall. Hope this was of some help to someone.
