It is the buyer's responsibility to pay all fees associated with shipping and packing. We will also provide the buyer with a list of alternative local shippers that have been used in the past if you would prefer. You may contact these shippers for quotes on larger items. Any item that cannot be sent through USPS or similar carrier must be sent be by common carrier or specialty delivery services. Shipping of small items will be handled in house. Look at a Burgess pump shotgun sometime and compare the rotating mag-tube takedown to a Model 520s, it's almost identical.Discover, MasterCard, Money Order / Cashiers Check, Personal Check, Visa, Wire Transfer Shipping Since Browning had a very close working relationship with Winchester (who now owned all of the Burgess patents) it would be unlikely if he borrowed some ideas from the now-defunct company that they would object too-strongly. Winchester had purchased the company a few years earlier and promptly closed them down (too-good a competitor?). I can't prove this, but I believe that the takedown mechanism John Browning used on this model (his first hammerless shotgun design) was "borrowed" from the Burgess Gun Company in Buffalo, New York. These old humpback guns are very interesting. Last edited by Cowboy Gun Fan on Sun 7:02 pm edited 6 times in totalĬGF: Keep up the good work. The more numbers we can add will help us all who are trying to determine the year of their gun, or as accurate as we can anyway. I also kept the last 2 numbers off the originals as I feel it serves no purpose in the research. By my research it appears, so far anyway, that my gun was made in the mid 20's. Feel free to add any info and more reliable numbers to the list.īTW, my number is 847XX. I found a handfull of those and they still don't make any sense to me. Not included were numbers that were too unclear and also numbers that had a Letter in front of it. I collected numbers that I felt were from reliable and accurate sources from around the internet. I decided to start collecting Serial Numbers to try to determine what year, or approx what year, my gun was made. I pretty quickly learned that there are no records available as they were reportedly destroyed in a fire. Steven Arms Co., Double Barrel, S x S, Model 335 Shotgun was made. It all started out when I was trying to find out what year my J. I posted this at another shotgun site, but wanted to include it here too:
