It's a Belgian gun, the ELG is a Belgian proofmark.
From markings and proof marks on the gun barrels and the frame. In some cases you need to remove the barrels, and look on the underside from markings.
Shotguns made in the US before 1968 were not required to have serial numbers. Would have to go with whatever markings are on the gun.
What is it (rifle, shotgun, handgun) and who made it? What are the markings/words on it?
Barrel marking include the proof marks, choke code and weight of the barrels. Please be specific and we can give a more direct answer.
Need a detailed description to inlcude type of action, gauge, number of barrels and ALL markings.
The water table on a firearm is typically located on the receiver or barrel. It is an area where various markings, such as proof marks, serial numbers, or manufacturer information, are stamped for identification and traceability purposes.
Impossible to answer. It HAS other markings on it somewhere.
open gun where the barrels latchs,the model numbers will be right there.
Focus on the target, ignore the barrels.
Impossible to answer without knowing ALL markings.
Short barreled shotgun is actually a legal term- it means a shotgun that has barrels less than 18 inches, or an overall length of less than 26". To my knowledge, H&A did NOT make a short barreled shotgun. Information is thin- they went out of business about 1914-1916, but all listings I have seen are for 28 inch barrels.
One or two, depending on how many barrels the shotgun has.
