I am new to this forum and want to know if the research letters request for info about the hammer gun in my possession is the best way to get all possible archived data for the owner...the serial number on all parts of it are the same with a number "1" stamped on the left action flat just above 52919
I know it was made in 1888 and is a 12 guage with a 30" laminated steel barrel with extractor and it has a small plaque on top of the stock just behind the hammers with the capital letters "FWD"...I've been told that it is an A-1 and the owner wants to know if that is correct and if it can be traced back to their past relative and to know it's value...Can the research request possibly tell us about all of this that i have described?...Thanks...Bryan
