Harrington and Richardson. Not worth a lot except for sentimental value, for which it is priceless. I'll keep my H&R single shot 20 gauge for life.

While the action DESIGN may have been pat'd in 1901, H&R didn't start producing 28ga singles until 1908 - but the gun could certainly have been made much later than that.
