It also has  stamped in wood, "U S / PINE RIDGE/ INDIAN AGENCY". Both sides of the wood stock is well decorated with round headed tacks. A couple of the heads have come off and look to be 2 piece , iron base with brass heads.  I believe it to be 12 gauge cartridge. Has a 25" barrel showing roughness, throughout.. Action is loose and would not recommend firing in it's present condition. It is marked "ZULU" on top of the barrel.
