It's in BEAUTIFUL condition. All matching. Even the screws on the sides of the receiver match. Serial number X22** place it as a 1948. from what I read, that was the year they started engraving "Sweet Sixteen" on the receiver. This model doesn't have it on there. Does anyone know anything about these? And if so... what's the value? I'll post pics if anyone can help me. Thanks.

They run between about $250-800 depending on the condition and rarity. Some go for more. Fun guns, but ammo is a bit expensive compared to 12 or 20 gauge. Read on line how to use them and change between birdshot and heavier loads.

Here is some info.
I think your gun is a standard 16 Ga.
If the barrel is original, a quick check is to remove the forearm and if the barrel ring has three holes in it, it is a sweet sixteen if not it is a standard weigh.

Sweet Sixteens of that year had the name engraved on then. The barrel ring had 3 holes in it, the trigger was gold plated and the receiver had a couple of cut outs on the inside near the lifter.
