The ONG had quite a few military shotguns, possibly for guarding defense plants in the State during WWII. They used to turn up at the Ohio Gun Collectors show fairly often, sometimes new in box, sometimes with CD (Civil Defense) medallions on them.

Interesting, I suppose many just ended up going home with the holders at war's end...

Upon further review - the barrel is dated "40" and the only other mark (that I missed) is the letter "I" inside a triangle near the barrel on the receiver.

They probably do not get much better than that one. Very nice.

New news to me - this is also a takedown gun.
