What american makers built an 8 gauge double? I know that Parker, Baker, Smith and Lefever did. But did anyone else?

It varies from state to state as here in Alabama any scattergun larger than a 10 bore is not allowed for any game. I know Martin Sands uses a 8 bore but I can't remember the state, Wisconsin maybe?
Kind Regards,

The Davenport is a single, I think he's just asking about doubles. Another maker of singles was Shattuck by the way.
The ones Bill mentions are all "gun makers" not "gun companies".
I've hunted with 8 and 4 gauge guns over in the UK. It's an interesting experience, some of the best times I've had waterfowling. Killed a mallard drake at about 70 yards with a Holland & Holland double 4 bore, what a day.
