I know that everyone thinks a gunsmith knows everything about every gun ever made . But a customer brought me one that I have never seen or heard of and wants it repaired , if not shootable at least a wall hanger . The only markings are the words Cannon Breech on the receiver and on the barrel and Simmons Hardware Co. on the grip cap . I think this was made by J. Stevens Arms Co. It is a single barrel 12 ga. shotgun with a 20" barrel. The thing that makes this peice so interesting is the metal badge inletted in the butt stock , Territorial Prison Guard Deer Lodge Montana . Does anyone have any more info and a sorce for parts ?
