It appears that this is a High Standard Flight King (1960-63) or Sport King (1964-73). Blue Book lists the value for this gun with the High Standard name from $100 with 60% original finish up to $156 with 100%. The Sears trade name will deduct about 25% from the value. Answer www.histandard.info Probably in the late 1950's before High Standard made shotugns with the High Stadanrd name. Teh Flite King shotgun did evolve frm the Model 20's and 21's I don't believve there eas a Sport King brabded High Standard shotgun. There will probably be a two letter assembly date code on this late a model 20.
