Hi, hope it's ok to ask about a single barrel gun here as I'm not sure where else to ask about it.
A model 37 , .410 has just been acquired by a friend of mine, as far as I can tell it's an earlier model with the top lever above the hammer. It's not in bad shape and he's asked if it's worth a re black, service and general tidy up.
I believe they were made between 36 and 63 but have no idea when it was made as there's no numbers. Is the top lever with a rolled around end (think it's called a pig tail ?) An indication of age .
There's no sign of red paint in the lettering on the underside of the receiver so we're not sure if it's the" one to have"
What's the general opinion, are they a good reliable little gun ? It looks solid and I believe they were very popular , it's made in the USA but I can't remember what was stamped onto the barrel.
Any input/views would be gladly received and if it's not the place to ask with it being a single barrel, it's cool if the post is moved.
Thanks
Nick.
