Look at the back of the breech. If there isn't a hammer, it's hammerless. Hammers are those things that stick up at the back of the barrel. On a single action gun you have to cock them (pull them back) before you pull the trigger. Pulling the trigger cocks and releases the hammers on a double action. All the firing mechanism is inside a hammerless gun.
Mechanical action.
As you pull the trigger.
I have a 12 gauge shotgun with the numbers 4041 on it. It has a double barrel and double trigger and hammerless. Could someone tell me what year it was made?
500 or so
it is not a gun of value.......I would guess at $100 to $200 depending on condition
when was a gun exactly made from strach

I can't tell if its value is more than a new model but I can tell you that nib is 460. ex is 335. gd is 145. and your gun was a first year made in 1908. Only 2000 was made that year.
