As stated I am brand new to this forum and really only joined hoping for info about an old two hammer SxS 10ga(?) identified only by the "JN Scotts" on the side and "St Louis Model 1887 Laminated Steel" lengthwise on the top of the barrels. (A gun owned by my great grandfather before he died)
I have read that a J Scotts had a machine shop here in St Louis at that time wherein the inventor of the first adding machine was employed. But that's all I have found.
I'll try to get pics soon as I am sure that would help, but this is a semi ornate gun with fancy scrolling throughout, a pheasant engraved into the side and a nice butt plate with a buck standing over two does encircled over a small shield. This gun is NOT a pristine example by ANY means, just something I have held onto as a keepsake.
Please help if you can... THANKS!
