In the late 1800s and early 1900s, we find many shotguns with hard rubber buttplates and grip caps. Some have the company logos embossed on them and some seem generic. Some grip caps and buttplates were used by several companies, especially grip caps. Does anyone know where these early companies got their buttplates and grip caps ? There must have been one or more common suppliers.
