Kutter, your gun represents the reality that Sears thought they were seeing. They made, after 1910 , pump rifles, one of Savage design. The gun you refer to was touted in Meriden's catalog, The Man Behind the Gun. That catalog doesn't have much on their guns, but has 25 or so pages of testimonials. In addition, they say that coming on Oct. 1, 1913 will be the "Meriden Repeating Hammerless Shotgun. Better than the rest." It was to have perfect balance, handsome lines, and "Genuine Krupp Steel Barrels". I am not sure I have ever seen one.
