I pulled this out of the dirt. I was cleaning up an old wood shed and a little of the stock was showing. The receiver has, Diamond Arms Co, St Louis, engraved on the left side. The firing pin is missing as is the for-stock. The butt is rough and the trigger is broken off, 12 gauge pretty sure. I read one source that these were sold up to 1932?

Hi Jeff,
         An Antique FireArm is any firearm that was manufactured pryor to 1898 and has not been converted to fire modern
ammunition. Most of these guns are Black powder muzzleloaders, Flintlocks, Etc and several other ignitions. However
War period weapons are of great intrest also. especially those from european countrys. what kind of firearm do You have if I may ask?.... Rob

Hello oro, Thats a pretty neat find You have there, Diamond Shotguns were an inexpensive Shotgun, and I beleive they were made by the Cresent Firarms Arms company. Cresent Firearms made a variety of shotguns Under various names that can clean up really nice. do You have an idea weather the barrels are steel or damascus? If You are interested I can tell You the best way to restore it, again thats a great find Clapp.. Rob

No, not damascus. I think it could be retored. Even though it is rusty it is surface rust and appears fine grained, not heavy or flacky. Seems to be made of a good grade of steel.

Hi oRo,
         Thats great what i use and was taught to me by a friend who is a collector and a Licened Gun Dealer, is to use wd-40 and 4xxxx steel wool to get the rust off it works great!!! and if You can get the maunfactures name off the gun I can tell You where to get replacement stocks that are original not reproductions. but keep the origional stock dont dispose of it. Look forward to hearing from You and seeing Your project,,,, Rob
