Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
What we have for auction is a shotgun branded with the "Trade Brand Name," a noteworthy example from a dynamic period in American firearm history between approximately 1880 and 1940. This era was marked by a significant fascination with shotguns, fueled by innovation and robust consumer demand. Wholesale sporting goods dealers, retail chains, and local hardware stores eagerly sought shotguns adorned with custom names, prompting major manufacturers to accommodate this demand by stamping a variety of names on their standard models. These shotguns, though economically priced—ranging from $10 to $15 for single-barrel versions and $15 to $25 for double-barrel models—were well-crafted and utilized the technology and metallurgy of their time. They were designed to handle 2 1/2-inch shotshells loaded with lead shot, black powder, or low-pressure smokeless powder. The specific shotgun up for auction was produced by either the W. H. Davenport Arms Co of Norwich, CT (1878 to 1910) or The Harrington & Richardson Arms Co of Worcester, MA (1871 to 1985) and distributed wholesale by the H.C. Squires Co of New York, NY. The model in question is the "Trade Brand Name" Columbia, serial number A559842, chambered in 16 gauge with a 30-inch barrel featuring a modified choke bore. It sports a blue finish, a bead front sight, and a smooth walnut pistol grip stock with a forearm. The left side of the receiver is stamped "Columbia," the top of the barrel bears "16GA CHOKE," and the bottom tang is marked "A559842." This shotgun represents not only the craftsmanship and manufacturing excellence of its time but also a significant piece of American firearms commerce history.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
