    Gladiator hammer gun Archived Message

    Would like to know from our members/viewers if any one has seen one of these? Before the other day, I didn't and was fortunate enough to win the bid on it. It needs for-end wood, but everything else is there. Gladiator is stamped on lock where L.C. Smith would be. These were made for Sears, Roebuck & Company. In Jim's book he lists 22 made in hammer gun if I read that right.
    I had heard about them, but never saw one. This one was made in 1918 and has 30" steel barrels, when I get it I will take better pictures and post them.
    Houchins book has no reference to them that I can find, Brophy's book does have some information and that is where I had heard of them.
