It's thought to be from the early 1800's. There are no serial no. that I have been able to find. "long tom" as It's been called, is all I know of this weapon.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Old 12 gage shot gun Author: Merlin Ray [Edit] Date Posted: 19:16:24 04/13/04 Tue I have a 12 gage shot gun with a hammer to the side. You flip the firing pin over to the right side to put a shell in!!It has #4474 and ELG in a circle on the side of the barrel! Looks like ZULU on top of the barrel!!Can you tell me something about the gun?

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Old 12 gage shot gun Author: Roy [Edit] Date Posted: 22:44:20 04/21/04 Wed Merlin - When you get lemons, make lemonade, and when given obsolete military single-shot rifles, make sporting shotguns. The ELG in an oval indicates it was made in Belgium prior to 1893 (unless there is a crown over the oval, then it was made sometime later), and approved for black powder ammunition. Many of these conversions were only marginally safe when made and should never be used with modern shells.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: old shotgun Author: Roy [Edit] Date Posted: 15:05:43 05/13/03 Tue Your father's shotgun should be priceless to you, but a lot of dealers would have offered even less than $50. Dealers sell nearly-new utility singleshots in my neighborhood for only $80-$100. There are very few collectors who would be interested in your gun unless it was absolutely like-new and unfired. A shooter (if you can find one who wants a singleshot) would prefer a newer gun at about the same price. If you wanted to sell, your best buyer would be someone who just wanted to hang an old gun over the fireplace as a decoration. They usually prefer open-hammer doubles, but the extra-long barrel of the Long Tom might attract a decorator, but even they will expect it to be inexpensive.

Can anyone tell me the age of this gun. It looks very old. The barrell measures 40" with a total of 54-1/2" Thanks Samson

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Long Tom Shotgun Author: Roy [Edit] Date Posted: 22:42:57 04/21/04 Wed Samson - Is it actually marked "Long Tom" or do you just call it that because of it's length? Long Tom was a trade name used by Sears Roebuck on shotguns made by J. Stevens Arms Co, c. 1920-1948. I have no reference listing the Avery Metal Works.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Long Tom Shotgun Author: Jane Alexander [Edit] Date Posted: 21:02:05 05/04/04 Tue My father has a Long Tom shotgun that belonged to my Great Uncle. However, it's a 16 guage. It's in pretty good condition. We have no idea what it is worth. Anyone have any ideas? Dad also has a nickel plated pistol that my G-Uncle owned that has a date stamp of I think 1888 or 1889. Unfortunately, I can't remember the details about the pistol.

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Long Tom Shotgun Author: Roy [Edit] Date Posted: 16:19:04 07/28/04 Wed A single shot Long Tom would probably bring $75 if complete and functional. Can't help with the pistol without those details.
