Hello all,
I have a shotgun that my grandfather owned. I looked at it, and I have to say it's made by a manufacturer I had never heard of, and I'm having a hard time finding out anything about it. It is a single-shot, breech loaded 12 gauge and the only markings on it are.

That's it. There is this patina coating on it so I can't find any other markings (like a serial number). This shotgun had something on the right side. There is a hole about the size of a nickel. Not sure of its function since you open it with a lever up top.
Does anyone know anything about these guns? dates? Anything at all will be appreciated. It's probably older than I am (47). Don't really care about value because I don't plan to sell it.
Thanks,
MC
