Howling Wolf Stamp on Trade Gun

[gradog]

I have a .62 trade gun. No name on it but it has a howling wolf stamp on the barrel. Who made It?

Is it a howling wolf or a Sitting Fox?

I'm bettin' it's a Sitting Fox. The stamp means the lock is from them.., the gun then may be made by them OR it may have been a kit made by an unknown maker. The component parts are good in either case..., the ability of the maker and the skill put into the gun will determine the rest.

Howlin Wolf is a blues player.

Sitting Fox, like TOW and others use commercially available parts, buying them here and there and reselling them. They don't stamp anything that I know of.

Post a pic if you can. If what you have is a sitting fox stamp it could have been put there by anybody cause Track Of The Wolf and probably other places sell them for gunmakers use.

Yep it is a setting fox. According to the website I got a good deal at $150.00
