BRIDGE GUN CO was a tradename used by the hardware/catalog store Shapleigh Hardware in St Louis. The guns were actually made by Crescent Firearms and distributed by the HD Folsom Co to the trade. The '96 reference is probably a patent date, since these guns were not manufacture dated and no serial number records exist. Value for a single-barrel will be below $100, double-barrels up to $200 as decorator pieces. Do not attempt to fire unless thoroughly checked by a reputable gunsmith.
