i have been handed down an old shotgun that belonged to my great grandfather. the gun has some wild history. it was borrowed by a neighbor to go " huning " then used to shoot and kill the town bully who laid in wait for said neighbor. this happened in the early 20's i think in titus county ,TX

i dont know how old it is. i dont know much else about it. it is a Hartford firearms co 12 ga. it has hammers and is stamped genuine armory steal. the only #'s i could find on it are 174646.

any info you could give would be helpfull. i have not been able to find anything.
