I bought a 16 ga AYA box lock serial 836##, circa 1955-56. I don't know the model. It's single trigger with selective ejectors, with some minor chasing around the barrels and action. It has obviously been resting in someones closet for years and the action is now soaking in a bath of mineral spirits. The condistion was pretty good and the price reflected the work needed to bring it back to working state. The shotgun was usable as purchased and represented what the market was. I gave 389$
