Ok fellers,
Here's the thing, When My Grandpa died in 85, he left all of the grandsons his guns. This is the one left to me.
Don't know anything about it. Just the words "Bridge City" on one side and
"patented Aug. 11, 1898" on the bottom of the barrel under the foregrip.
There's also "9179" stamped on the bottom of the barrel.
Supposedly this shotgun belonged to my Great Grandpa.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
No matter if it's rare or not, it's staying in the family. Going to my grandson when I pass on to that great treestand in the sky.
