your gun was made in 1946 by H&R for Sears High standard it is a H&R 120
JC Higgins Model 20Early 1960's, around 1964.From another FAQ Farmer: 1962 the model 20 pump shotgun was made from 1947 to 1962 under the JC. Higgins brand wich was owned by Sears . The guns were made by High standard manufacturing co. Sears owned abought 25 % of High standard From 1962 on they were sold under the Sears name until 1968 .High Standard also sold under their name High standard model K100 Flite King.Both the k100 and the model 20 are excellent shotguns well made of the high quality and one of if not the smoothest pump action shotguns made High standard made some of the finest guns .
Sorry, no real public data on those. Prior to 1968 shotguns sold by sear did not have a serial number ( the 583.2087 is a model number)The model number 583.2085 was a High Standard shotgun in 20ga.that was made for Sears.Maybe yours is a High standard also.The model number is awful close.
