Can anyone help me date my Zabala Hermanos 12gauge?

[Canadian.Eh]

I picked it up in a trade and I'm having trouble dating it and putting a value on it. Any help would be much appreciated! TIA
I can't post pictures apparently so I'm not sure how to get you guys the info, it's a model 212 I think and I can't find it anywhere online. I've matched up some of the engraved marks and it seems to be 1931. Was hoping to post a couple pictures and have everyone take a look but I'm at a loss now.

If you join CGN for $25.00 you get to upload pics direct not through a file share site. Good luck. Best money u can spend If you are going to be using this site regular. Ron

You cannot post photos directly onto the site but you can store a photo on Photobucket (free) and include a link to it when you post a message. Photobucket seems to change its procedures hourly but if you put a

after the link it should appear as a photo in your message

PM me and I will be able to give you the info you need if you can not link pictures here, I have the Spanish date codes and I had a Zabala Hermanos 12 gauge SxS until recently.

We need a clear picture of the action and barrel water table (flat area under barrels).

A letter usually in combination with a number. Likely on the barrel flats.

Thank you for that, I found the same info online. However, I cannot determine if it is marked M or M1.

If visual inspection is difficult, you may have better luck putting some marker(or whatever is safe for your gun) on the marking and impressing it onto a piece of paper.
