Here is a link to a reprint of one of the old catalogues.
Reprint Hopkins and Allen

Norwich was a big gun town esp during the Revolution, similar to Springfield and Hartford in the day. They called the city the "Rose city" because of the very nice buildings and parks built on the money brought in from the many manufacturing outfits that called it home.
Cool to see some of the old ones at a few local events.
The single shot is mentioned on the link I posted above as being in the middle of the catalog.




I used to only shoot shotguns and rimfires, then I made the mistake of getting a subscription to handloader.......
