Help me ID

[Texas9]

A friend I work with gave me a slip of paper with all the info he had on three firearms he recently inherited. I'm pretty sure I've I.D.'ed one as an Ithaca M-66 20 ga. The other two are proving to be a PIA.

One, he says, is a Triumph single shot. He says it's small-bore, but he doesn't know specifically how small, and he's got a serial number to go with it.

The other is a Wiltshire Arms Co. Number 717, single shot 20 ga. No serial number with this one.

If anyone can help me with any further information, including specifics on the guns, pictures of these models, and ballpark values ($100 guns or $1,000 guns?) I would appreciate it.

I doubt there's any serious value beyond sentimental here, but he wants to know for sure.

Thanks guys!

Wiltshire was a name used on guns made by Crescent for the hardware store trade.

Triumph? I recall seeing a Stevens 311 double barrel with the Triumph name on it, so I'm guessing that Triumph was another store brand.

As far as value, there just isn't much if any collector demand for hardware guns, so the value will be as a shooter if the gun is usable.
