Does anyone know anything about the Russel Arms Co.? A friend has a 12 ga. Side X Side shotgun he wants to pass on to his son, that came from his dad in 1935. He would like to know something about the company and the gun to pass along. I cannot find anything on it, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John

To verify the Belgian manufacture check for proof marks on the barrels and flat surface the barrels rest on. The proof marks are very distinctive. Also note if the barrels are Damascus, if they are, firing is not recommended.
Carder's, Shotgun Book, identifies Russel Arms Co. shotguns as being made in Belgium, by Pieper.
