Help With ID ?

Post by markiver54 » Tue Feb 22, 2022 12:14 pm

My brother has an old shotgun that was given to him a while back. It is a12ga single shot. It's in pretty bad condition and he doesn't know if it has any value to justify restoration.
All it says on it is "Columbia". Any help?

Strange flap on the side.

Thank you Jim. Much appreciated!
Will pass this info on to my brother. I think that flap that exposes a take down pin might be unique to this gun...maybe.🤔
