How do you find the manufacturers date on a diamond arms single shot 12 gauge with the serial number EN499?In: Diamond Arms |
[Edit] |
Answer
Diamond Arms was a trade name used on guns distributed by Shapleigh Hardware of St Louis Missouri. Vorisek's "Shotgun Markings" identifies 7 different makers, but a few can be eliminated as they furnished Shapleigh with only double barreled guns. If the gun is marked only "Diamond Arms Co" it could have been made by Harrington & Richardson (1872-1985), Hopkins & Allen (1898-1915), or J Stevens Arms (1920-1942). The "E" on the serial number <might> indicate H&R manufacture in 1944, but I would not expect the "N" following it.
