That looks so much like my Parker Bros. it's not even funny. HarryD 02-28-2010, 19:20 Sweeeeeeeet!!! Birdhunter1 02-28-2010, 19:26 Is that an old twist or Damascus steel barrel? It is definitely something I would use as a show piece if it were mine. A safe is a good place for it. tenpoint 02-28-2010, 19:36 I have a old L.C. Smith 12 ga. that was past down from my grandpa. Don't have any idea how old it is, but looks great and still kicks like a mule. xOZx 02-28-2010, 19:47 Hey Bird, what's a twist or damascus? How can I tell if it is?

Folsom Arms Company on firearms made for the Shapleigh Hardware Company of St. Louis, Missouri. Folsom was a sporting goods wholesale/retail business in New York City. The actual manufacturer of a hammerless double would be their subsidiary company, Crescent Firearms, Norwich, CT, between 1907 and 1930." http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Mississippi_Valley_Arms_shotgun A bit about Crescent Firearms, the actual maker of the gun: http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/cpg1410/displayimage.php?album=36&pos=0 |
