HOPKINS & ALLEN Falling Block 12 gauge Single Barrel C&R Sporting SHOTGUN 

Made Circa the early 1900s in Norwich, Connecticut

Here we present a Hopkins & Allen Arms Company Falling Block Shotgun, manufactured in Norwich, Connecticut circa 1898 to 1916. Hopkins & Allen is probably best known for manufacturing all manner of entry level firearms in the late 19th Century. However, they were in fact a subsidiary company of Merwin, Hulbert, & Co. or Merwin & Hulbert, an American firearms designer and marketer based in New York City.

This design utilized the falling block action which was very popular in the mid-to-late-19th Century, made especially famous by Christian Sharps with his rifles and carbines around the time of the Civil War. This would have been a working man’s hunting shotgun for fowl or forest game at the turn of the century.
