Here while back I came across an old dirty double barrel that someone was wanting to sale. We could find no writing on the gun anywhere and there didn't appear to be much if any bluing left but the wood was in great shape.. I bought it, brought it home and soaked it in rem-oil and let it sit for a while. When I finally cleaned it up the first thing I noticed was Damascus barrels. After carefully searching I finally located three sets of matching serial #. Then with the aid of a lighted magnifying glass I found "THE HOLLENBECK MADE BY THE SYRACUSE ARMS CO'' on the bottom of the receiver. From what little I can find on-line it was made in 1895 or before. The serial # is 47xx. Does anyone know anything else about these guns or the approximate value? It ended up cleaning up real nice but I know not to try to restore it or to shoot it.
