I need help finding the lineage of an old Champion shotgun that is passed down through my family. I know that this a a Champion 12 guage with a 32" single barrel. It was purchased new for $6 around the 1905 or so. It made it's way into my family because it kicked like a mule and the guy sold it to my great grandfather for $5. There are no other markings (proofs, etc.) on the gun. The only distinguishing mark is the butplate. It has the word Champion in RAISED letters.
I would like to find out more about this old gun and any help or reference material that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
