Gun show, gun shop, library.
First of all describe the gun. Is it a revolver, or a shotgun? A revolver has a grip but so does a shotgun (actually a for end).
The production year is not stamped on a gun. It is the serial number that is used to tell which batch was made in a particular year. Go to: proofhouse.com for listings.
Probably an assembly number.
It could be the benchmark of the gunsmith who assembled the revolver.
Type your answer here... Can you e-mail me at kdeeken@hotmail.com regarding the revolver?
ctg = cartridge
open the cylinder, and it should be stamped there along with the serial number
Inexpensive, @ turn of the century
Marginal value.
I have a friend who has a 32 cal, break open hammerless revolver, chrome finished, in excellent shape. As near as the person who had it remembered, it was perchased around the early thirties. It is stamped American Revolver co. with ivory grips.
