Please list all the markings on the shotgun. Harrington & Richardson were producing hammerLESS double shotguns as far back as 1882. sales@countrygunsmith.net
Shotguns with exposed hammers and triggers attached to the stock are typically characteristic of older or traditional designs, such as double-barrel shotguns. The exposed hammers allow for manual cocking and can provide a more tactile shooting experience, enabling the shooter to see the hammer position. This configuration can also simplify maintenance and repairs since the trigger mechanism and hammers are often more accessible. Additionally, it reflects a design ethos focused on reliability and ease of use in various conditions.

I have a partial answer and plan to submit a question. Ithaca hammer shotguns with serial #'s below 33011 were produced before 1899. I have a hammer double barrel stagecoach shotgun with serial # 15864. I will post a question to find out its age.
There are many types of hammers for different uses. There are ball point hammers, claw hammers, sledge hammers, club hammers, mallets, and other assorted types.
Shotguns can have hammers, but it depends on the design. Traditional break-action shotguns often feature exposed hammers, while many modern shotguns, especially pump-action and semi-automatic models, utilize hammerless designs. Hammerless shotguns rely on internal mechanisms to strike the firing pin directly, making them less bulky and more streamlined.
