John no offense taken. I bring home my fair share of strays. I have a habit of reading about a shotgun maker then finding one to see how they operate and study up on what I can. Some are kept others go down the road.
This guns was in the back room of a shop for years. Moved out front and never sold. The post on H&R high grade guns peak my intreast so a low ball offer thrown out that was excepted.
Here in Arizona I find plenty of repaired and modified guns from the late 1880’s to early 1900’s. After all these guns were tools to harvest wild game but also used to protect the family from Apaches, Bandits and predators that might need to be delete with in protecting the family and livestock.
When this gun was manufactured Arizona was a territory and still pretty wild. Not sure how long this gun has been here. It came of a ranch estate where the sale of the guns were handled by a friend that owns Frontier Guns shop. History pretty much starts and stops there.
