Hi all,
I just came across a Gus Habich "The Interchanger" Shotgun. I believe it is a 12 ga. Side by side. The only marking I can find are:
Gus Habich- Indianapolis & The Interchanger. Seems to be in very nice condition, VERY tight.
Does anyone know anything about this company and it's value? I do know that it was a sporting goods store in Indiana in the early 1900's...thats about it.
Thanks you your time...

  Neither "Habich" or "The Interchanger" is in the standard reference for "Store Brand"/"Trade Name", double barrel shotguns.
  
  If you give us the markings/proof marks on the water table and/or barrel breechs, we would be at least able to tell if it's U S made or a Belgian import.
