I acquired what appears to be an older (or perhaps neglected) 20 gauge shotgun from my father just under a year ago.
Supposedly a friend of his bought some property in the Phoenix area and found it in a bush.
It looks like time and weather has taken it's toll on it.
Among the rust and the broken stock, the firing pin looks to be missing, as well as the trigger guard.
I've recently taken interest in it, and tried to get some info on it, but didn't find much.
Anyone have any info on this shotgun?
Would it be worth salvaging or does the rust look too pitted?
Sorry about the picture quality, cell phone is the best I can muster right now.

It looks like it says

On this side I can read
"PROOF TESTED - 20 GAUGE
2 3/4 INCH CHAMBER" on the barrel and
"STEVENS
SAVAGE ARMS CORPORATION
CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS. U.S.A." on the plate.

Under the handguard, on the barrel, it looks like two arrows pointing to the right (with the gun upside down) followed by "P Y"
