Looking for information on a 12 guage my father picked up at an auction a few years back. Its a 12 ga pump, hammerless, with a solid rib, 30" barrel. Says "Union Firarms Co., Toledo Ohio" and has a serial # of 761 stamped on most of the components. Couldn't find it in the books and was wondering if anybody new anything about this one?? Thanks

  The Union Firearms Co of Toledo Ohio is mentioned in "Flayderman's Guide" and other references. The production of shotguns is noted, both pumps and doubles. They made "Store Brand" & "Hardware Guns" for Sears and others. They were in business during the early years of the 20th Century, circa 1903 - 1913, when they were bought out by the Ithaca Gun Co.
  
  Pictures of two unique handguns they produced in limited numbers are also shown. A "automatic" revolver like the Webley Fosbery and a semi-automatic pistol, reportedly chambered for the 32 S & W cartridge.
