[quote=El Garro]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"
One of the better "Farmer Grade Garden Guns" out there. They were well made and hardly ever gave problems. The only part that went caput was the ejector/extractor which was offered for years by Cape Outfitters. I don't know Jeff's Outfitters may still have some in stock. The double barrel version is called Model 24.
