I saw that one also.
Belknap was a very large Hardware chain and manufacturer here in Louisville that folded about thirty years ago I actually know several of the family members that are still around and live right next to their farm.
As a result you can forget about the gun in question as I will be bidding on their behalf up to $5000.00 for it.
nah just a little humor.
This gun is one of the infamous "hardware Guns that most every chain imported as a "house" brand. In Belknaps case I know they used "Pride Of Spain" quite a bit for their guns. Decent plain Jane guns. There were many others. Perhaps others might know more.
Best of luck,
Brad |

Bought my first hunting coat from Belknap, ran across an old one recently I didn't know I had. Must have shrunk, doesn't quite fit anymore. Major supplier to hardware stores throughout the US. I recently bought 2 guns from an elderly friend, Essex single barrell breakdown 12ga. and Remington model 11 12ga which looks 95%, He asked $350. for both. |

I remember seeing that 'Belknap' name on products in NAPA auto stores. |

Rev:
What was the name of the big gun distributor/retailer in Philadelphia around 1900? Darn memory!! Anyway I once saw a Baker (no Baker markings) with that name at a gunshow. |

Thank you MD, that was it - Tryon, and Drew's picture captures the look (though the one I saw was not nearly so pristine). Again, thank you for supplying the name, not remembering has been bugging me since last night!!! |
