I bought a cheap old 12g hammerless SxS and did a little research on the only thing on it: "American Gun Co. New York". Apparently what I've got here is a hardware store shotgun made at the latest around 1920, and I don't know anything about identifying Damascus steel or if its safe to shoot with modern ammo (maybe low recoil stuff?). Or if steel shot will be an issue.
Not much of an impulse guy, but I may have stepped in it a bit here. Wasn't worried about looks so I guess I thought "Eh its worn but it can't be THAT old that I have to worry about shooting it." Figured I'd ask here first before having a 'smith look over it who may not even be able to tell me as much as someone here.
Much obliged.
