Look at Browning shotgun stocks, might be a 12 gauge over and under?

I agree. O/U and Browningish crisp checkering.

I am leaning towards a lever action or small caliber automatic rifle due to the straight stock. Most shotguns I have looked at have a pistol grip style stock.

Look at the Browning Citori

They were probably swapped out for synthetic stocks?

I showed my dad the photo he said he had a Savage Fox sterlingworth double 12 ga from Utica N.Y. that had a stock like that but he cant remember the serial number he said it was only offered in the final years at Utica he thinks in 30'S or early 40's

I had searched for Browning Citori wood stocks and it looks like one for that brand. Not sure what gage yet?

One of my Remington 870's has a straight English-style stock with very similar checkering. Don't ask why I have so many 870s. I can't resist them - its a weakness.

English style shotgun stocks do not have the pistol or semi-pistol grip. Below is a Browning o/u.

Holy Disco Ball, Batman. 1970's Ruger No. 1 or No. 3 stock (aftermarket)?

I picked up a few at an estate sale a couple of years back. I sold them all in one lot. Gary
