Hopkins & Allen also manufactured firearms which were not described in their catalogs.Ĭompiled from Hopkins & Allen catalogs by Charles E. There are many exceptions due to the numerous limited production guns, examples are the AA GRADE double shotgun and the "PARROT BEAK" Derringer.
Hopkins & Allen guns are about equally priced with Stevens, N.R. NORWICH CONN." or other private tradenames, including Merwin, Hulbert & Company.
Prior to 1896, H&A guns were marked "HOPKINS & ALLEN MANUFG. Before 1870, they were producing rimfire cartridge guns and eventually centerfire handguns and long guns. H&A started their firearms business in 1867, manufacturing percussion revolvers. Previous manufacturer located in Norwich, CT. After 1902, "tip-over" single shotguns were offered in Forehand designs and, later, the Davenport designs. From the 1890s through 1914, 38XL, 44XL shotshell guns were periodically offered in the Junior frame. 45-70 shotshells and, today, these are rare if in good condition. Prior to 1902, some FBs were chambered for. were built on heavy frames with the 20 and 16 gauges sharing a medium frame. U.S.A.Ī H&A produced a "falling block" shotgun in most gauges circa 1887 - early 1900s. Condition is good.Most bluing is worn off.
They are almost the same except mine has the take down pin on the right side and has a thumb tang instead of a knob. I believe it is over priced.This is a picture of thiers. On another web site someone is selling one thats almost the same and they are asking $795. on it and Hopkins & Allen as I can as well as value. My grandfather bought it used in the late 30's for my father.I used it as a kid in the early 60's. Q I have a Hopkins & Allen falling block, take down, single shot, 12ga. NORWICH CONN" it's prior to 1896 if it's " Hopkins & Allen Arms company" it's 1902 -1914 The Boxlock models usually are valued around $100 and the Falling Block models (hammer on outside) are valued around $150. H&A made 5 different single shot shotguns. It has a number on the triggerguard/receiver area of S75XX and the same is on the barrel assembly.Īnyone know how old this is and what would be the value?Ī. Bluing is about 20% on the barrel and the receiver looks like it is casehardened. Q A friend of my fathers has an old Hopkins and Allen single barrel shotgun. The value of the gun would depend greatly on how long that sawed off barrel is. A little company history might help you out though, according to the Blue Book of Gun Values H&A was in operation from 1902(?) to 1914 (?) I put the question marks in because there have been confliction reports although the start up date doesn't vary much so I would date it close to 1902. Can you give me an idea of when it was made and any value of itĪ are there any other markings on the gun? H&A made several different single shots.
It is a 16 guage Hopkins & Allen single gauge with the serial number of 0005.
