I have an old side by side 12ga with hammers. A friend picked up at an aution for $100.00 and thought it would by a good addition to my old guns, i have some old guns but not junk guns. I know less about this gun than i do about O'bama's recovery "plan".It has lots of engraving and etching and Powell on both sides of the receiver, it also has 15653 on the receiver and bottom of barrels. Any ideas and info would be appreciated. J.C./Oxford Ms.

J.C./Oxford Ms. WELCOME to the site on your first post  Pleased to have you on board and adding to the site. As j0e has said, some pictures would allow us to make a better evaluation of the Powell. At least 3 different Powells made shotguns. Is there an address on the rib? William Powell is hopefully expected http://www.williampowell.com/Your forethought in providing the serial number is a good start and may be helpful. If you need help in posting pictures, shout out Mike

Nothing but the Powell and the 15653.

I posted a couple of pics, it looks like the Acme gun somewhat, there are a few differences. Well, i guess it's just another old gun, just thought i would try to find out a little information on it. A friend of mine from the days of working at the University of Mississippi, Mike Stewart, has a little dog training business just outside of Oxford, Ms. I was out there today and noticed he has a few doubles on display, one belonged to William Faulkner. Maybe i'll see if he wants this old gun for decoration in his retail store. Thanks, John in Oxford Ms.
Oh, i forgot to tell the name of his little dog training business, it's WildRose, maybe someone has heard of it. Go visit it sometime, it's not bad for an ole southern boy from Mississippi. We do shine well at times......
