Diamond Arms was a trade name used Shapleigh Hardware for guns that were actually made by Iver Johnson of Fitchburg, MA, c. 1920-1950. Prior to that, they were made by small local makers in Belgium. These were utility grade guns. Prior to 1968, serial numbers were not required on shotguns and rifles, and there are many inexpensive shotguns that have never HAD a serial number (and yes, that is legal)

Adco has no connection to your shotgun. They import semi-automatic shotguns made in Turkey. Diamond Arms Co was a trade name used by Shapleigh Hardware of St Louis, MO, on shotguns imported from Belgium c. 1880-WWI or made by Stevens and Iver Johnson from about 1900-1940. A single shot with serial numbers is most likely an Iver Johnson Champion.
There is no way to tell the gauge from the serial number, and that may not even be a true serial number. Diamond Arms were made by several manufacturers for distribution by the Shapleigh Hardware Company of St Louis between the 1880s and 1940s. Anyone familiar with shotguns should be able to determine the gauge by looking at the gun, but to find the proper ammunition you should also have a gunsmith measure the length of the chamber.
