Riverside Arms Co. Chickopee Mass?

[cecILL]

Any one out there have any info this shotgun? 10 guage, single shot break open, stamped on top of barrel "CHOKE BORED". Gun is probably close to 100 years old. Stock is rough, and bluing, what is left, has turned very brown. There are no dates or numbers anywhere. Been a regular on this forum for quite a while, but know next to nothing about shotguns. Would not think value would be much, but really haven't a clue. thanks in advance, cec

According to Harley's book, Riverside Arms Co was a trade name used by Stevens,1915-1940.

These are not worth much, and not for shooting without a smith checking them over first. Probably chambered for the old 2 7/8" shell, maybe even the older 2 9/16".

HTH....
