Savage 440B O/U 12G

Does anyone know much about this gun? I've found a few things online, but there doesn't seem to be much information about it. All I've found is that it was made for a few years in the late 60's/early 70's. It is in excellent condition, as my father only used it a handful of times that I can remember (he's been gone 20 yrs this Dec). My mother was looking to get rid of it, but I told her I'd take it as I'd hate to see it go.

I talked to a gunsmith bud of mine in Ohio on another site and HE says those guns were a good enough utility grade lower priced O/U a few steps above Stroeger. Heck, if your Ma had it THAT long and you've got a chance to hold on to something Pa used, I'd grab it a minute and put it on the wall for properity sake. I'd take to a smith and have it looked over for potential use.

I would get it checked out before use, just to be safe.
