A little help please
New to the site as you can tell by my join date. I am also sort of newbie to gun info/history, but thought this would be the best place to start. I ran across the following at an antique/junk sale and had some value and/or "what are they" questions.
Again, please forgive the pics and info as I am new to this and was not really prepared with a good camera or what to look for and/or ask. The info I do have may be very broad but anything you know will help.
Here is what I know:
Gun 1: J Stevens SXS http://www.flickr.com/photos/jon_mckee/sets/72157622487853532/
From what I could find on the net it should be pre 1940 since the inscripted name said J Stevens Arms Company, but I have not found any of these on GB or other sites with the same insignia on the side (last pic). I did not see any other markings, but did not open it up to look under the barrels.
Gun 2: Unknown

As you can see in the photos, made in Brazil; Serial# (I assume) 700370; Not sure on the insignia. ERA?
Gun 3: Unknown
No Pics. It was an old SXS w/ hammers, no visible markings and the latch to open it was on the bottom which I hadn't seen. It had a large latch to break it open and a smaller latch mounted under the larger to break it completely.
The seller's story was that it was made in Belgium used in WW_ and in poor condition b/c it was pulled out of one of the gun piles that they had run over with tanks after the war.
Thanks,

I hate to be a pest but I have searched all over the net looking for the DOM for my new Winchester Model 75 #3419 And also I am looking to change the size of my target disk in the Aperture sight. The one I have is a small disk with a large hole. I am looking for the large disk with a small hole. One more thing? Is the thread size on the disk 7/32"-40 thread.
Found this place with parts but I think they are a re-make

Thank you for your help I tried to figure it out for myself. This is all very new to me. I gave up racing vintage motocross (Hurt to many times) and decided to shoot in the 22 cal. matches they have going on around here in the Seattle area.
