I have this old shotgun that belonged to my grandfather. I know it is not worth much but a few years ago I found out exactly what it is. On the top of the barrel just forward of the breech the engraving reads:
Buffalo Bill Cody
MDL 128 12 Ga 2 3/4
Full Choke
Patent Pending.

It is a bolt-action 12 gauge with a two shell magazine. I think it was a department store shotgun sold at either Sears or Montgomery Wards. I think it might be a Savage/Stevens.

I am looking for information on the Waltham Arms Company. I have a very old single shot 12 gauge shotgun marked as such with a patent date of either 1856 or 1866. Any inquiry leads me to the Waltham Watch Company, Waltham Mass., although I did see a vague reference to the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. It is possible it is not even from the U.S. Can anyone help?

Kimbercolt

anyone have a clue to who made this old shotgun.
the only marking is western field, its a 12 ga

I was just given a Eclipse side by side double barrell shotgun. has the date of August 20, 1892. I is the old rabbit ear type. Made in belgium. Has nice carving in stock. Stock needs some work. Will it hurt if I redo the stock. or should I just clean it up.
thanks

I have been given a Hopkins & Allen Arms Co. single shot 12 gauge shotgun and am trying to find out a little info on it. This shotgun was given to me by my Grandfather and it was given to him by his Dad and I would love to know a little about the company and also try to get an approximate value on the gun.

I don't have much info due to the numbers on the shotgun being mostly worn off but here is what I do have:

Hopkins & Allen Arms Co. Norwich, Conn USA (all on the side plate).
Numbers behind the trigger guard are a bit worn off but look to be Z8188. The barrel is 30 inches long.

I do not see any other writing (stamping) anywhere else on the gun and I know my info is very limited but and information is appreciated.

I have just acquired an old muzzle loading 12 guage shotgun. It says George Newton on both sides of the receiver and London Stub Twist between the barrels. It is in really bad shape but appears to be complete even with the ram rod. Does any one know about this shotgun and is anyone interested in it? I am a rifle guy, not really interested in restoring a shotgum

I just acquired an old muzzle loading shotgun. It appears to be a 20 guage. All I got was the stock with triggers, no locks, the part that the barrels hook onto and the barrels. On the barrels it says BASS LONDON in gold letters. The metal piece that the barrel hook in to is engraved and has some gold looking area on it. This shotgun is in very bad shape, but if anyone may be interested in it let me know. I have no interest in fixing it up

I just purchased a double barrel 12ga shotgun by Hopkins & Allen in real good condition, exposed side hammers, no model number with ser. #26272. Any knowledge about the gun, date of manufacture, and the value. Please advise if you can
Thanks in advance, Neil55@juno.com

It kinda looks like a Stevens Model 520 to me. They were made by Stevens and Savage for almost 40 years. Sold under a number of different Trade and Store Brand names, also.







If it aint a 520 might be one of the older Marlins, they made a number of similar looking pumps with external hammers during the same time frame, circa early 1900's to the 1930's.

Its a 520 Stevens/Savage. I have three, one Stevens marked and two that are Montgomery Wards Westernfields.

Browning design, neat way they break down with finger groves.

Hawkshaw

I believe "BigBill" is correct. I have a semi auto with the same receiver. The info I found, is that it was designed by John Browning, and in my case was manufactured by stoeger in 1902.

Wehrmacht_45

Mine say Browning Patent right on them. John Moses Browning sold gun designs to a ton of different firms.

I had one, the safety sometimes would only move half-way. When the trigger was pulled you could hear a dull click and the gun would not fire. I couldn't open the gun or cycle it. While trying to force the safety all the way off the gun fired. Be careful with these!
