Best Answer

Trade name used by the H. & D. Folsom Arms Company on shotguns made for the Belknap Hardware Company of Louisville, Kentucky. Folsom was a sporting goods wholesale & retail company in New York. Actual manufacturer would be Crescent Firearms of Norwich, CT., or it may have been imported from Belgium. Typical hardware-store gun that hung behind the kitchen door or in the barn of every farm in the early 1900's.

If there are no words besides Nitro marked on the gun, it was made by either WH Davenport or Crescent Fire Arms.
