My dad came home from work today and i heard that great sound of a pump action shotgun. i went out to the kitchen and he had to shotguns sitting there. one is a old 870 wingmaster(it even says for 2 3/4 or shorter on the barrel) he got that for $40(a guy wanted to get rid of these) he also said he bought a pistol but he needs to get the permit and all that before he can actually get it. and he also bought a wallhanger for $10. its a really old side-by-side shotgun. 12 ga. 30 inch barrel. hammerless, double trigger, and it says "the wyco hammerless" on the side and thats all it says(except for the serial number) but its pretty beat up and you cant shoot it anymore(thats why its a wall hanger) does anyone know what im talking about with this info? i dont know what else to say about it.

Thanks
Tyler

WYCO was aparently a wholeale house, Wyeth Hardware and Manufacturing Company. They bought a lot of production from manufacturers and marked them with their names.Was a very common practice up until the 1960s with Sears, Wards, Western Auto, and others.
Depending on its age, couold be made by Crescent, Stevens, or other budget makers.

Wyco shotguns were made by Crescent Arms co. and distributed by the Wyeth HardwareCo. St.Joseph, Mo. around 1880 and after.
