Shotguns

Depending on condition, around $125.

Impossible to say. Mr. Christopher George Bonehill opened his shop as a gunmaker in Birmingham England in 1851 (he was 20 years old). The firm closed in the 1960s, and all records were discarded. Your gun would have been proofed at the Birmingham Proofhouse. An examination of the proofmarks by a collector or gunsmith may be able to give you a range of dates, but for many older guns, there are just no records.

A box of shotgun shells is usually 25 rounds. Some of the buckshot, slug, and specialty rounds are packaged in five round packs. That being said, the predominate 25 round box is often packed in cases of ten boxes. However, there are four box and twenty box cases. Particularly if you are using twelve gauge size rounds, more than twenty boxes would be awkward (and heavy) to move.

Depending on the age, it may not have one. Serial numbers on rifles and shotguns were not required by law until 1968. Rossi shotguns that DO have a SN usually have them just forward of the trigger guard. However, contact the Customer Service staff of Taurus (they own Rossi) to check your shotgun.

I have the same shotgun.

Delphian Arms Co shotguns that were distributed H&D Folsom Sporting Goods were either manufactured by Crescent Arms Co (Norwich, CN, 1892-1931) or imported from Belgium. The same name was also used by Supplee-Biddle Hardware on Fulton Model shotguns manufactured by Hunter Arms Co. (Fulton, NY, 1890-1945). The value of any gun is based on the exact make, model and condition. Most of these are middling quality, and sell for $150 or so.

Eclipse Gun Company is a name found on Belgian manufactured double barrels from around 1900-1916. The manufacturer was Henri Pieper. Please note that the Damascus barrels were meant for BLACK POWDER shotshells, and should not be fired with modern day ammo.

The Serial Numbers are along the Left Side of the Receiver just Above the Stock.

No one answer. That depends on the load and the powder used. Please understand that as used in that sentence, grain refers to a unit of weight, and not the individual grains of powder. Typical charge weights can vary from 17-35 grains.

About $100 or so. The damascus/twist steel barrels are generally considered unsafe to shoot with modern ammunition.

I have never heard of an iron ton. But I know 16 gauges are more expensive, and they aren't made as much anymore. Ammo is plentiful, but the gun is not. I'd say $1200, depending on the age and condition of the gun

You can try Hasting's. They make after market barrels.

$100

They were made for the Shapleigh hardware store chain roughly 1920-s-early 1940s.

1875.
