Old Shotguns anyone know???

[sheashae]

I have a buddy here at work that has two old shotguns from his grandfather. He wants to know if anyone knows anything about these two guns. One is a Central Arms double barrel shotgun and a Wiltshire Arms double barrel shotgun (both guns have hammers on the outside). They have no numbers on the guns. Has anyone heard or dealt with any of these two brands that could possibly give me some feedback on them? Thanks

Photos would be helpful. You have to be careful w/ old shotguns. Some of them were made for only blackpowder loads (very light). A new shell will fit but would possibly destroy it. Some of the barrels are made of Damascus steel (water steel- you'll see the water marks). Definately don't shoot those- they're wall hangers only now...

I told my buddy to bring some pictures to work and I would get them posted on here. Maybe once he gets those yall can let me know a little more about them.

I'd tell him to watch it, having guns with no numbers will cost you a Ruger ACP Just ask pain man.

I dont think the gun came with numbers. They are really old guns.
