    Stevens model 77e 12 gauge shotgun Help


    My father in-law gave me his Stevens model 77e 12 gauge shotgun, the barrel it is stamped "2 3/4 Inch chamber" and has a 5L on the left side and then a SP on the right side.
    When I took the fore end off I found the words police and a serial number hand written. Could any one tell me any more about this gun ?

    I also want to clean the gun a little more as it has not been used in a long time but not sure if I have the skill to strip it down any more with out some pointers.

    Thanks for your time

    It was made in 1960, can't tell you much more than that but it would have been interesting if they engraved what state or precinct the shotgun belonged to at one time.

    Neat find.

    Could also be a evidence room number!

    So the L is the date 1960 what is the 5 and SP

    Eric you are scaring me ;-) I will have to dig in to the history of where it came from.

    Any hints on cleaning it ?

    Wouldn't be worried - they used to auction off siezed and evidence guns back in the good old days (instead of scrapping them like they do now).
