Hello gents,
A friend of mine has inherited a Hopkins and Allen 16ga SxS, serial# 41731.
He describes it thusly:
Barrels have a lovely patina, not Damascus, and little is stamped on the receiver other than the serial# and "Hopkins & Allen, Norwich Conn, USA".
Hammerless, thumb safety, double trigger.
No rust, some pitting in the barrels, otherwise tight as a tiger. Perchance I will use this gun this fall as a grouse and woodcock shooting piece. T'was my great-great-grandfathers gun and has been begifted to me by my father.
I have the general H&A information from the Blue Book, etc, but can't find anything regarding date of manufacture, etc. Can anyone help out?
