Drake Hunter

The reason for this post is I inherited my grandmothers Black Prince on Sept. 12 when my grandfather passed away. Grandmom is still with us but didn't want to keep the gun to remind her of our loss. It was my granddad's wedding present to her more than 50 years ago. I've not been able to find any information on the company or the gun. It's a single shot .410 in pretty good shape. If anyone has any information I'd be pleased if you'd share it.

Drakehunter, it's funny you posted this . i also inherited a bridge gun company black prince in 20 gauge. my grandfather had it , he killed his first of many deer with it. i hunted with it but dont shoot it anymore. i know its been around for a few years but have never done any research on it . maybe someone will know something about it to help us.i have never seen another gun made by this company.

Hey Reb, I killed my first squirrel with this gun and took it to the woods with me in October for one last go. It's put up now. I might let my girls use it when they are a little bigger.

From what I could find out the bridge gun company was a trade name of the Shapleigh hardware company of St.Louis. I couldnt find who actually made the gun.
