The "Springfield Automatic Shotgun" is a clone of the Browning A5 produced by Savage/Springfield. The Browning A5 is credited as being the first semi automatic shotgun design ever produced. It is a recoil operated, tube magazine fed gun with a reciprocating barrel. It has a 5 round capacity, one in the chamber and 4 in the magazine. Recoil is managed and harnessed by a system of friction rings and spring that can be set up in different configurations to maximize operation with different powered loads.
Fully automatic shotgun, no. Automatic rifles and machine guns, yes.
Model 720, probably, which was very similar to the Browning A5. There was also a Model 726 (2-shot version), 740 (Cutts compensator and skeet style stock) and 745 (alloy receiver). Look for the model number on the receiver of your gun. Made from 1931-1949, although your barrel address markings indicate pre-1947. sales@countrygunsmith.net
