i have a bolt action single shot shotgun that my dad gave to me lately, i refinished it like new (wood & steel), but i don't know its name, model number, & country of origin!!!it has a serial number: 71000 & there's a small maple leaf engraving (Canadian mark) on the barrel with the letter "F" directly under it; also the number 8.50 is engraved on the side of the barrel, can anyone help me in this???

Some pics of the marking rather than 4 of the same would help.

It looks like a Savage shotgun. My dad has one in .410 that looks very similiar especially the bolt design. Google different brand names with the serial number and see what you get.

Interesting....I'd think there'd be more markings, wherever they're hidden

inside the chamber or on the bolt? not on the barrel huh?

almost looks like a wards 410 but i don't think it is...

Thx for all ur replies, There are no other markings at all, i checked the gun several times, if i want to google, what r the brand names to look for???

Looks Savage-esque to me. Many manufacturers sold guns under different brand names.

Try Kessler.

The pic doesn't help me, but I'm just think of other bolt gun makers from the past. (Kessler is now Mossberg...I think)

Montogomery Wards stores did sell Mossbergs back in the day and that is where my dad got his from. Just trying googling single shot bolt action shotgun for a start and click on images to see if there are any like it. My bet would be on a Mossberg Brand. You may want to try Sears store name too. My dad has a .30-30 Sears "Ted Williams" Model that is nothing more than a Winchester Model 94 Lever Action.
