Browning Light 12 - Date of Manufacture

Hi all- I was hoping someone could help me date my Light 12 the number on the back of the receiver reads as followed 1G and below that is 33899. Also it seems i have a barrel with two stars on it. I believe this is a modify barrel. Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan

The "1" is for 1961, that "G" stands for Light Twelve. Two stars for a Modified choke, one for Full, three for Cylinder.
