Thanks for the info. Sounds like this is a humble farmer's shotgun, which would fit with the original ownership; my great grandfather who had a small dairy herd in CT from the late 1800 to around 1930. While I have the attention of an expert, what is the appropriate level of cleaning for a gun like this? I would like to clean it up, but don't want to do anything that would mess up the integrity of it as an antique. Thanks again for the good info and sorry to write in about an imitation.
