Kodensha "Nikko" Trap Gun
Seen at a small local gun show today, a near-mint "Nikko" 30" trap gun, originally manufactured by Kodensha, later Olin-Kodensha (ring a bell?). Nice original factory engraving, fixed chokes @ IM & F, high comb (not MC) stock with original recoil pad and wide but not "Broadway" dimensioned rib. Tempting at less than $450 for a backup doubles or bunker trap gun. These were well built guns, sold at one time by Best & Co. big box stores for around $500. Best buy at the show, the second being its near-kin smallbore, a 20-ga. version with 28" barrels in likewise near-mint condition for $725 from a different dealer.
