Howdy All:
A good friend of mine recently gave up his freedom and got married,but as a added bonus he and his bride recived a 20 guage Colt semi-auto shotgun. The gun is a 1950 something made in Italy stamped colt sptfa co. We are looking for any one who has any info on this firearm or know where to find some it would be appreciated. He is looking for a instruction manual and value.
Thank You in advance
