Just making a guess that your rifle may be a Remington, they are not dated by serial number, but by a 2 or 3 letter code stamped on the barrel. These are very small letters, on the left side of the barrel, about 1/2 inch from the frame.
It will fit on the frame but the action will not function with 3 inch shells.
The one I have has a 20 inch barrel.
Remingtons are dated not by the serial number, but by a 2 or 3 LETTER code stamped on teh LEFT side of the barrel, about 1/2 inch from the frame. See the link below for a date chart.

What is the value of a noble 12 guage model 60 shotgun with a 32 inch barrel?
50-300 USD or so
Many S & W's have the # just above where the crane fits into the frame. Swing the cylinder open, look about one inch down from where the barrel screws into the revolver frame. It is there in small print
