I saw hallb's post and it got me to thinking about it. Mine is my Granddaddy's Browning Auto 5 Light 12 vent Belgium made. With my grandmothers social security number that she scrolled/horribly etched into the metal behind the trigger.
She thought that her social security number would get the shotgun back to her if it ever got stolen. It was different times, but not that different. That shotgun means more to me because of her social security number. It would be an 8 out of 10 if it were not for that. I'll take the that!
Somewhere floating around there is a Remington 760 floating around with my dad's SS# scratched into one of the slide arms, best I can remember. It was stolen in 1998 and it hasn't helped us get it back.
