[denton arms]

dscf2279dscf2280dscf2281dscf2282 these are the pictures of the new in the box shot guns i found at a gun show any help in telling me a little history and age would be a great help

[Mad Dog]

Can't see the pictures.

But if you found a couple old mid century shotguns new in the box I'd say you did pretty darn good, pending price.

Take a look at this and see if it helps with posting pictures...

I think the pictures will work we bought them from a gentle man in his seventies whose dad had a hardware store in new York closed it down many years ago he has them stored unopened and did not want them any more I believe the store was closed in the 50s

[Mad Dog]

Wow, those are nice, you won't find them like that anymore.

Curious as to how much you paid for the pair?

[denton arms]

there is one more 20 im going to try to get

[denton arms]

is there a way to date these I don't want to open the 94 but I assume they are from the same year reallt green on the old savage I have one I hunt with but its a little rough

[Mad Dog]

Ya, there is a way. If they were made in Utica I wouldn't be able to date them but I see by the boxes they were made at the Chicopee plant so I should be able to date them.

Just let me know the serial numbers, if there earlier than when they started to stamp the serial numbers then I'll need the date code. It's a small oval stamp on the gun with a number and a letter inside of it.

[denton arms]

Mad Dog the small oval mark is 4F

[Mad Dog]

So it was made in 1954, very nice. I know a lot of collectors that would love to get their hands on those.

What you want to have when you try to post a picture will look like this:

Just omit the spaces in the IMG tags. Any additional code or tags will just result in a mess like you had above. Photobucket has a specific code option that matches this labeled "IMG code", but you may have to go into the "Update Link Options" menu and select it to make it visible.

A 20 guage 220A is a SWEET little gun, especially in that kind of shape! But IMO a 12 guage 94 (or 220) is a wicked kicker unless you use very light loads, or get a Savage "FourTenner" insert barrel for it.

I like those "FourTenners" in lightweight 12s, unless you're huntin' big stuff like phez, turkeys, ducks,geese, or coyotes.
