i posted this in the H&R section to get the attention of the H&R guys, but i have since read that it may have been made by Meridian arms for sears, and is a Iver Johnson copy????

with a couple of good pics it can be matched up to H&R or IJ's pretty easy or just get a gun traders guide and look at the guns there.
