I have been handed down an antique shotgun. This weapon has no mfgr's name anywhere on it that I can see. I found a patent date of June 20th 1883 on one side, the other side says Prize Machine Gun. In between the barrel's (it's a dbl) it says Prize Quality---Laminated Steel. I haven't torn it down in quite some time, but just remember some stamping on the area hidden when put together. The butt plate has a bird dog sitting next to a tree with a bird hanging upside down. I am considering having a local gunsmith turn it into a muzzle loader as it appears to be a Damacuss barrel. Anyone out there that can be of help it would be greatly appreciated. Mark
