If your shotgun has Damascus barrels,then by all means do not fire modern smokeless ammo through your shotgun.I would have your shotgun looked at by a qualified gunsmith before attempting to fire any ammo through a shotgun of this age.

Is a Stevens model 58 shotgun in good condition safe to fire steel shot ammunition?
being that your savage/stevens shotgun was made between 1933-1945,I would have a gunsmith check your shotgun to make sure it is safe to use and at that time question him on use of steel shot through your shotgun.
Is a 12 gauge double barrel shotgun made by Bridge Gun that has thumb hammers and double triggers and appears to be in good working order safe to shoot modern ammunition through?
It may have laminated barrels or short chambers which would not be safe with any but the lightest loads equivalent to shells that were available 75-100 years ago. Have it examined by an experienced gunsmith and follow his advice.
Where can you find hammers for a double barrel shotgun made by Oxford Arms?
Oxford Arms was a tradename used by the Belknap Hardware Company on shotguns they retailed through their mail-order catalog from c.1880-1920. Most were inexpensive utility grade guns made in Belgium and will have Belgian proofmarks underneath the barrels. The barrels themselves will generally be made of twist construction. Hammers and other parts would have to be made. Value is as a decorator piece only, $100-$200. Guns from this era and construction are considered unsafe to shoot with modern ammunition. www.countrygunsmith.net

Can a 410 shotgun use a fouty-five caliber bullet safely?
No, is the short answer. The long answer is a little more complex. The .45 Colt and the .410 share similar base dimensions which make them interchangeable in certain firearms. Usually, however, you find .45 Colt/.410 shotgun combinations, meaning the firearm is designed to shoot .45 Colt, but will also accept .410 shot shells. The Taurus Judge, and Bond Derringer's Snake Slayer are two pistol examples. There are many variations, but the unifying factor is that these guns are designed to handle higher chamber and barrel pressures generated by the .45 Colt cartridge. The barrel of your typical .410 shotgun is very thin in comparison, and is designed to fire shotgun ammunition only. So, if the firearm is specifically designed for it, you can shoot .410 shotgun ammunition through a .45 Colt barrel. You cannot, nor should you attempt, to load a .45 Colt round into a .410 shotgun.
Where can you buy ammunition for a Winchester 10 gauge lever action shotgun?
Any sporting goods store should have at least a few boxes of 10 gauge shells, but probably not a large selection. You have a shotgun that is between 76 and 119 years old in 2006. Before you buy any ammunition, have the gun checked by a competent gunsmith and if he approves it he should also recommend the proper load. Even the oldest of these Winchesters should be OK with smokeless powder, but I doubt if any would stay together through a box of heavy magnum shells.
Where can you find a replacement hammer for a Riverside Arms shotgun?
Riverside was manufactured by Stevens, so if you can identify the equivalent Stevens model, you should be able to find hammers at http://www.e-gunparts.com/ Or if you still have one hammer (or a broken one) you can take it to a local gunshow and dig through bins of miscellaneous parts looking for a match.
