Grandpas Guns
My great grandfather had single shot crack barrel W.M. Enders shotgun bearing the name Oakleaf and I can't find any information about this gun. The top of the barrel says high pressure compressed steel barrel and lug forged in one piece. I can't find any serial numbers on the gun. It also has a hammer with no safety mechanizm. The finish of the wood is dark varnish. Any help will be greatly appreciated as I am at a stand still on it.
The Oakleaf from what I have found appears to be made by Crescent- Davis who produced many different names for the same company. One of those names was Enders. However I have no clue on the year or a value. Any help is appreciated. Here is a picture of the insignia on the Oakleaf.
I also have a Springfield Meteor Model 52-A .22 caliber bolt action rifle. Manufactured by J. Stevens Arms Company in Chicopee Falls, Massachusettes. It has a 24 in a circle stamped on the left side of the barrel. It has a blade front sight with Marble stamped on one side and No.3 on the other side of the blade. Does anyone know how much it is worth and what year or years it would have been made in?

Hello MudbugnLouisana
I did some boudin, crayfish-rice, fried green-tomatoes, pole-beans and red-potatoes for a friend of mine who is retired from marketing in Winchester. I thought about you and wished you and yours was here to enjoy a north-central Florida "Louisana" style supper.
The "Captain" has an computer data base, that I would give my eye-teeth to have access to. That's why he can come up with information, when the rest of us are scratching places that can't be mentioned on this forum.
Best Regards To You And Yours0 -
Actually, the Captain has access to the "Historical Firearms Database" in the computer at Starfleet Academy.
