That Wyco Hammerless looks suspiciously like a Crescent.

Chuck, yes, full blown hardware store gun, for sure. If you could have been there, you could have had the same gun, named "Chuck's Short Range Wonder", but maybe that wouldn't sell too well. You choose.

Daryl, that has to be a Crescent doesn't it, made for the Wyeth Hardware Co.? I had one that looked just like that in 20ga., that I sold to me Dad. It was marked though "America Gun Co."

The fitter at Crescent that put that gun together must have been aspiring to work at Parker. Note the screw slot alignment.

Chuck, maybe the gun just hasn't been shot so the screws didn't rattle loose. I was sort of hoping you weren't satisfied with "Chuck's Short Range Wonder".

Daryl,
I was thinking more along the lines of "Chuck's Chukar Chomper"

Well, being from the midwest, Chuck, I don't think those buyers,in that period, and maybe they were the premo Crescent buyers, really knew about a bird like that. I think back then, and times have surely changed , chukkar was something you did out the car window with , well, whatever. Actually, I had thought of the screws being well aligned when I took the picture. It's odd, but lots of times, even on the finest of guns, we allow photos of untimed screws. I got a gun , a Daly Diamond Grade, back from a well known gunsmith, actually it took three trys for him to do the job, and each time the screws were not indexed properly. It said "loads" about the gunsmith and I never went back.

Yeah, I suppose you're right. Chukar didn't get imported to Calif until 1933 or there abouts.
