Any help in identifying a single barrel 12 Ga break single-action shotgun would be appreciated. The only markings I can find are "H*A & Co" on the buttplate and very faint stamping "LONG RANGE VA???" just behind the takedown screw, which has a lever handle similar to the break lever. I can't even tell for certain how many ?'s there are in the "VA???". The serial number is "XXX 92", and is the only stamping that is really legible. In all details, it's pretty typical of late 1800's/early 1900's shotguns of that style, and it appears to be from pretty much the turn of that century (it was my grandfather's, and I'm 66).
