My Dad handed down this little shotgun to me years ago. It is Harrington & Richardson - Pat. 1901 - single shot, break top, smooth bore, no model # or name. It says 44 cal. on the barrel.
I have only three of the original shells left. Thay are marked "Western 44 XL" with a green waxpaper like cover over the shot, and a brass shellcase.
Because these have not been available for many years, my dad had it bored out to take the short 410 shotshell. I, and later my sons, have hunted with this gum for years and it works just fine.
I have never seen another, although I have read about a few being around.
Any one else got one ??
