AJ Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Re: 1891 G. Henry Shotgun Info? Sorry Matt. I have nothing on it. You may try some of the antique gun sites. Try a google search on antique shotguns or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckslayer Posted December 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Re: 1891 G. Henry Shotgun Info? Just wanted to update you guys with what I found over on antiqueguns.com So far its just a utility gun or "farm" gun... basically not worth much of anything or even safe to shoot with modern smokeless powder shells. It was just another tool on the farm back in those days... Now its a wall decoration. matt, > > i did a quick patent search and this is what > > i found; patent 461679 dated 10-20-1891 issued > > to grandville henry of nazareth, pennsylvania, > > for a single barrel outside hammer shotgun. > > no information on any manufacturing date or > > company. i think some research into p > > ennsylvania manufacturers would be in order. > > this may be a utility grade single barrel but > > it is not as other have said a brand Or trade > > name shotgun. bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
