Re: 12 gauge Sterlingworth Ser# 50040?

I'm not in TN just yet. I bought some land down there near Cookeville (Gainesboro) and working on it during vacation time. Hope to retire on my mountaintop if I live long enough! LOL Right now there is a little off-grid cabin I built to camp out in. The wife is turning it into a tiny house though by...

Re: 12 gauge Sterlingworth Ser# 50040?

Might be worth it to a collector, but I'm not a collector. I can't really sink any more money into it, if you are talking nearly a thousand or more. I have a 16 year old who needs a car, a wife who needs her teeth, and now I'll have to start dishing out money to doctors. Guess it will just be a deco...

Re: 12 gauge Sterlingworth Ser# 50040?

I'll have to get a pic of the checkering. It is still very nice and not worn at all. Can't see it in the pics I have posted. Yes, It is missing the grip cap and also the sight bead.

Re: 12 gauge Sterlingworth Ser# 50040?

It does indeed say Wayne PA on one side and fluid steel on the other(see pics). It is only a 30 inch barrel though. I'm near Youngstown Ohio. A recommendation would be great but really can't afford to get it restored right now. Maybe if another stimulus check..... lol 20210510_200340.jpg 20210510_20...

Re: 12 gauge Sterlingworth Ser# 50040?

Thanks for the info. Very interesting seeing the old catalog clip! I'll check closer on the address if there is one on the barrel. I'll also remeasure the barrels to see what they actually are. I'm a little bummed on the repair cost to fix the ribs. I would love to do it right, but that kind of mone...

12 gauge Sterlingworth Ser# 50040?

I picked up an old Sterlingworth 12 gauge at a family auction recently. It was just a decoration on their mantle I guess. The serial number is 50040 on all the parts, and from what I have gleaned from the internet so far, it seems to be one of the earliest that came off the line starting with the 50...
