Depending on which model and gauge, I have bolts. It will be very difficult to find the 12ga bolts from models 583.1-583.21, since Sears has been recalling them and paying good money for the last 10 years or more.
High Standard shotguns made before 1969 did not have serial numbers except for some exported models and the Model 10-A bullpup. Your shotgun has no serial number.
Consult the owner's manual. If you don't have one, find a gunsmith.
