My Shootin' Buddy got a shotgun from her dad - it was given to his mother as a courting present by his father (Apparently, it's a VT sort of thing...).
It's marked J. Stevens Arms & Tool Co., so according to the Blue Book that would put it as manufactured sometime between 1886 and 1916. It's marked "44 - SHOT" on top of the barrel, and a .410 shell will NOT fit into the chamber. It's a single-shot, break-open takedown smoothbore with a very nice trigger. The big screw underneath unscrews to let you pull the bbl forward of the chamber out.
I can't seem to find any reference to this model in the Blue Book, nor online. What's SB got here? What does it shoot - .44 Spl shot shells?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
