winchester73, don't worry at all about it, I'm glad that you could give me some info and who would've figured a obscure old gun just like yours would pop up on a post like that.

Thanks for everyones time and knowledge!

PauliB the middle gun is deffinetly made by H&R as I have the same gun...its a great little shooter if you get it running right and if you have any problems with it go to e-gunparts.com and you can find everything there.

[J.S.EVENS &CC.CHECOPEE]
[HALLS,MASS.PAT.SEPT6 1864 ]

NOT !

It may be rusty now, but I can guarantee it originally read:

"J.STEVENS & CO, CHICOPEE
FALLS, MASS. PAT.SEPT6 1864 "


Joshua Stevens first worked for Sam Colt to help establish the Hartford factory, then under Edwin Wesson at Massachusetts Arms Co in Chicopee Falls, MA - where he obtained several patents for percussion revolvers.

When he invented a single-shot pistol, and patented it in 1864 - he went out on his own & founded what would become the largest firearms maker in the world, J.Stevens Arms & Tool Co, Chicopee Falls, Mass - until it was taken over by Savage Arms after WWI.

That barrel marking is one.

Thanks Petah, I'm surprised I came that close with the words and letters.
