Hopkins & Allen side x side
« on: February 25, 2012, 09:16:54 AM »
I picked up a 12 gauge side x side muzzle loader recently for $150.00  :) . It's stamped Hopkins & Allen. Except for freckling on the barrels' exterior, it's in excellent, possibly unfired, condition. It could pass as the twin of my Navy Arms shotgun. But it is a bit lighter in weight, has a darker stock and has factory installed sling swivels, whereas the Navy Arms does not. Quality is excellent and I'm assuming it was actually manufactured by Pedersoli and simply marketed under the H&A name. Can anyone shed some light on the gun's story? When were they sold? Any collector interest? TIA.
