My guns history

2016/7/22 9:06:49


Question
I found a single-barrel 12 guage shotgun in a house I bought and started renovating and have tried to get the history behind it but cannot find it anywhere. The markings on it are as follows: On the side it says "Columbia Ejector", then on the other side it has patent dates listed in a horizontal row starting with December 16, 1891 and ending with May 27, 1902, then on the trigger guard it has the numbers 807, the barrel is 26 inches long... Please help... Thank you so much.

Answer
Hello Seth,

The columbia ejector was made by W. H. Davenport Arms Co. in Rhode Island sometime between 1870 and WW-1. As you can imagine there were lots of shotgun makers during this time so finding information about a particular company is pretty much out of the question. These guns have a value of around 100-150 bucks in good condition, a little more in excellent condition (new). Sounds like a nice find, best of luck!
