Your shotgun was made between 1950 and 1955. The law did not require serial numbers on rifles and shotguns until 1968. Simply put, your Mossberg has never HAD a serial number. Yes, it is legal to possess. It is NOT legal to remove a serial number, but if the gun never had one, that's OK. 1950-1955
185 d Model 20 ga Mossberg Whats the Value
100-150.
Most of the Mossberg bolt action shotguns are worth $50-$90. They are well made, durable firearms, but are pretty much a "working man's" gun. They are reliable guns, but have little collector interest. However, they have been a first shotgun for a lot of young hunters, kept behind the kitchen door of a lot of farms, etc. Made from about 1940-1947. Model changed to 185 in 1947, in production until about 1970.
about $100
