Have you been able to determine who E.Bridges was?
Looks like hot lead was poured into the hole in the stock behind the butt plate. .

it maybe lead. It wieghs right at 10Lbs. I have not been able to find out who E. Bridges is. The shotgun came to me from New York. My mothers maiden name was Bridges but I doubt there is any relation.

You know what is very odd...? The name stamps on your gun on the water table and the barrel flats. I once owned another early lifter that also had a name stamped on it in the same exact way, in the same locations and in the same font even. Different name. But same in every other way.
A real strange coincidence.

I wonder if some retailer offered stamping your name on the barrels and water table free with the purchase of the shotgun?
