I just got a VERY old double barrel 12g shotgun from a family member when she found it in the attic of her elderly passed away brother. Pics will follow when i can get some pictures but here's what i could find on it.
It is a approx. 28" side by side double barrel 12 gauge
It appears the manufacturer is NR Davis & Sons and it says "Fine Damascus"
patent date of Aug 3rd 1886
Fine etching on the metal parts
Currently does not fire and the wooden furniture is in terrible condition. I have not attempted to clean it or fix anything since i don't know yet on what I might have or any value of it. I cannot find a serial# either leading me to think this is possibly much older than the 1930's.
If anyone has any ideas on where i can start getting info let me know.
Thanks, Andrew
