Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the empire arms co? I just aquired a shotgun from my dad that was his dads and very possibly was his granddad's. The only markings are the empire arms co stamp right under the chamber and the serial number that is hidden in the wooden part that you hold on to (not the stock but the part under the barrel that you pull off first to take it apart). I appologize for not knowing the correct term. It is a 12 gage, single barrel, single shot. It's in pretty good shape... a little rust on the outside of the barrel and a spider took up residence in the barrel but otherwise fine. Chances are it is from the 1800's but I haven't been able to find out any info.
Thank you very much.
