IMG_5270.jpg I have recently come into possession of this 12ga Semi. It has some engravings on it but no make or model or gauge/caliber. It has the name of a Japanese company on the grip butt. It appears to me to be a Franchi 48/AL. anyone ever seen or have any info what this is. It has 2 extra barrels one with engraving. no replaceable chokes.

Looks like an older Ithaca.

IMG_0690.jpgSo this topic made me use my best Google-goo…but even that didn’t help much.
All I can find is that it’s a Nihon Kogyo Co. King Auto Five - found one sold at a US Auction for $985. NK Co is in the business of making pipe today. It’s definitely a Browning clone but there’s zero online information on the gun, and would expect even less parts available.
