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.

I believe its a W.H. DAVENPORT Columbia .... https://www.collectorsfirearms.com/blog ... nport.html

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.

have your brother take a look at this YouTube video ===> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djsDJ5Ij39o
