W.H Davenport was a minor shotgun manufacturer that produced primarily single shot 10 & 12 gauge shotguns between 1870 and 1910. They built some double barrel guns under the "King Nitro" trade name, which were sold by mail order hardware companies. Acme was another trade name for guns produced by W.H Davenport.

How do you know if a Browning 16 gauge is a Sweet Sixteen?

The Browning Sweet sixteen, will have the words "Sweet Sixteen" stamped or engraved on the receiver after the 1948-1950 time period. Prior to Sweet Sixteen being engraved on the legend which is the left side of the receiver, Sweets from 1937-40 and 46-49 are not stamped. If you have one of these guns, the gun will have a faded gold trigger - not blued. This is the most obvious sign. To be sure remove the forend. If the Barrel ring that slides over the magazine tube has three holes in it, then it is a sweet, providing the barrel serial number matches the receiver. So, check the trigger and barrel. Two other differences can be detected, but it's more info than needed to answer your question.

How do you identify the model number of a holton french horn?

Put the bell on your lap, position the lead pipe away from your head. Look down towards the bell. The model number should be engraved in that area. If you're looking for the serial number, I'd try looking on a valve casing, often the second valve.
