Looking for anyone who might be able to assiste me with identifying a dun discovered in a wall cavity from a house in Alabama.
There is writing on gun very hard to read have some pictures just not able to upload to this site keeps telling me it failed.
Gun has an external hammer the break open mechanism appears to have been a on the right side of the gun forward of the trigger maybe a push button ( the exact part is missing) given the condition of the gun and the look of the trigger guard I want to say manufactured on 1800's. all the screws on the gun are slotted and no Philips head screws used. Trigger guard metal extends beyond the trigger guard area and goes down the stock like a strap for about 6 inches.
part of the writing on the gun appears to say patent applied for
If you know anything about shotguns this old and would like to assist identifying it send me a message and I will send the pictures I have of the gun.
Thanks for the help
