Hi. I have just acquired a Meriden shotgun. My first one. I was wondering if by a description, someone could tell me what grade this Meriden is:
30" barrels, ICxM chokes, double trigger
Top of rib : MF'D BY THE MERIDEN FIREARMS CO.MERIDEN,CT.PAT'D JULY 9,1907
Serial : 74507
On the right side of action flat, under the right barrel : 37
On the left side of action flat, under the left barrel : T32
Stamped by the forend lug : T
Stamped by the front/ forward barrel lug : 2
There is a Setter dog on point in some grass/ rushes on the left lock plate.
There is a Pointer dog on point in some grass/ rushes on the right lockplate.
If someone could date this and tell me the grade, or where it fell in the Meriden line, I would appreciate it. I could post pictures if necessary, but I live out in the sticks, and I have old slow dialup. It takes forever.
thanks, redoftx.
