    Homeless 1906 12g 00 30" Armor steel brls followed me home from the Phoenix Gun Show today-to replace a Sterly as my S. Dakota block & drive pheasant gun.

    The mystery is the brl markings

    From 'The Book' and the ads on the PictureTrail I've come up with these LC distributors:
    The Sporting Goods Agencies Montreal, Canada
    Schoverling, Daly & Gales New York City
    McDonald & Linforth San Francisco
    Harder Sporting Goods Co. Williamsport, PA
    Wm. Read & Sons Boston
    Hurty-Simmons Hardware Co Minneapolis
    J. A. Johnson, Great Western Gun Works Pittsburg
    Von Lengerke & Antoine Chicago
    A. J. Rummel Arms Co. Toledo
    W. S. Brown Pittsburg
    Powell & Clement Cincinnati
    Boehme & Rauch Co. Monroe, Mich.
    This is definitely not the commonly found S, D & G of Schoverling, Daly & Gales

    Any ideas? Anybody with a gun with similar markings? And what is the big 'C'? Thanks!
