Unmarked Hammer 12 Ga. Shotgun

[Drew Hause]

Rocky: the markings on the receiver are not Belgian, and the odd rear trigger suggests that it is a low quality copy of the J Stevens Arms and Co Model 235 which was manufactured from 1912 to 1932. An example is shown here

As a piece of family history it is of course priceless, and should be retired to a place of honor in your home. Under no circumstances should it be fired.

Thanks Drew,
Yep that’s it and thank you so very, very much. And thanks to everyone for your help and support. Looks like you were on the right track Brian. And a special thanks to the Parker Gun Co. for making this discovery possible. Now I have the information needed so maybe my great-great grand nephew can tell his class mates, this was my great-great-great-great great granddads J Stevens Arms and Co Model 235 rabbit ear shotgun.
