WVSRPA Forum: Need Information ?

Message

    I have a Single barrel shotgun receiver with date of May 14, 1901. It also has Columbia, Charleston Hardware Company, Charleston, WV. on left side. I would like to Know who made this shotgun and if I can get a blueprint or Schematic.

	I have found that this was made by H&R under the name Columbia. It is a Mode 1900.

	A friend of mine also has the same gun. We are trying to find out the history of the gun and its connection to the hardware store... was it a promo item? An award to vip coustomers? Any info would be great! Thanks
