Hamilton Model 23 ????
I have been looking for about an hour now online trying to find ANYTHING on the Hamilton Model 23. The only thing I'm seeing is the Model 27 and a Hamilton Model 23 Pocket watch. Can anyone help me with the following about this rifle? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! Happy Holidays!
Who made it?
What is it?
When was it made?
Where was it made?
What is the value? (I know value is in the eye of the beholder, but just a starting point as I am possibly going to sell it)

This page tells about the Model 23: http://home.comcast.net/~jimringbauer/Model23.html
The Model 23 was the first bolt action rifle made by Hamilton. The receiver is a steel tube with the loading port in the top where the barrel joins. The bolt is 7-3/4" long and the bolt handle is at the extreme end. Unlike the usual bolt action, this bolt handle does not lock into a receiver notch. The locking knob has to be manually operated for it to lock in. Two types of stocks can be found on this model a rounded oval pattern or a thin board type with slightly rounded edges.
