    The gun has the 3 Pin, 1 Screw configuration. So that would put the manufacture date between 1899 1/2 and 1907. Any idea the value of the gun?
    Interesting side note: My father told me my grandfather had a wooden arrow he would shoot fish, with this gun. The arrow had a barbed arrowhead on one end. The other end had a ball that snugly fit into the barrel. A string was attached to the arrow shaft. My grandfather would load a low velocity shell into the chamber and shoot fish. They lived off the land, so anything to tip the balance in their favor, they did.
    Thank you for your helpful information.
