Literaly I found this laying around my machine shop.
Harrington and Richardson Arms Comp. Worcester, Masswith patents from 1900, 1901. S/N A6815 stamped behind trigger guard
I am assuming its just an old 12ga single shot. Worth about $0.08 for scrap steel. But I would love to know a little more for a good story.:D Odly it has a fantastic short smooth strigger at about #4

The story behind that H&R is lots of smiles, successful hunts, and proud fathers. Same story as all other H&R shotguns.
 
Noelf2- I did do a little research and found out what it was. Still made almost the same today. The one I have made its last hunt many years ago. It does make a fine paperweight now
 
That relief milled into it next to the screw with the cotter pin intrigues me. Was it done just to keep the screw from backing out?
 
.

The relief is where the Model 1900's missing issue pivoting hinge pin release handle folds/toggles into, when not used to pull the hinge pin.

The gun was taken down into 2 parts w/o removing the forend, once the hinge pin was pulled out.

It is a Model 1900 made between 1900 and 1916 in 12, 16, and 20 gauges.

The Model 1905 is a smaller frame gun made in 24, and 28 gauges and .44 and .45-70 shot, 12mm, 14mm, and .410 Eley calibers between 1906 and
1916.
 
I know the question that is plaguing all of you now. Would the Boogieman sell that fine example of american history? :eek:
Im not saying it belonged to Teddy Roosevelt but I dont know that it didnt. That alone should make it worth $00000 if not more.
