Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Noble Model 420 is a Spanish-manufactured, box-lock side-by-side double-barrel shotgun that was imported into the United States by Noble Manufacturing Co. of Haydenville, Massachusetts, from the late 1950s through the company’s closure in the early 1970s. It is a hammerless, break-action field gun featuring double triggers, a traditional box-lock mechanism with extractors (rather than automatic ejectors), and a walnut buttstock with a splinter-style forearm. The Model 420 was offered in 12, 16, 20, and .410 bore, typically with 28" barrels for larger gauges and 26" for .410, and features a coin-finished, engraved receiver paired with blued barrels, a combination seen on some factory-finished imports. Designed as an affordable, utilitarian shotgun, it was marketed to hunters and shooters as a dependable gun for small-game and upland bird hunting. While exact Spanish makers for all Model 420s are not always documented, some sources and collector discussions suggest that a portion may have been produced by smaller Eibar-region workshops, reflecting the era’s common practice of subcontracted Spanish manufacturing.
