I picked this up many decades ago from a Tennessee Police dept. auction. I believe it may have done duty at Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Corporation (C&CCC) based on the engravings. Anybody know the ball park value?

Found a bit more info: The "Y-12" marking was the area in Oak Ridge where C&CCC contributed to the Manhattan Project, performing the refinement of U-235 to generate plutonium. The previous "TEC" marking likely stood for Tennessee Eastman Company, a division of Eastman Kodak that was working refinement before C&CCC took over. Appears that the gun was parked before C&CCC took over, since the "TEC" marking is parked over but the C&CCC is not. Interesting history with this one. The shotgun itself is in pristine condition.
