Hi Folks, I looked at a rifle recently that I could use some help with. The gun is an over/under side slapper. It is not something I would usually look at since it's in very poor condition. The stock is badly broken with a large copper patch covering all of the wrist and a good part of the stock. Large gaps between the stock and barrels, poor bores, part of the rib is missing, you get the picture. Having said that I don't have one and there might be a gun in there but lots of work to dig it out. If I can determine if it came from an area I am interested in I will make a run at it. Here is what I have: Both the lock and barrel are marked S. A. J. Hale. I have exhausted all my references with no hits. Anyone run across this name? It has an "Ohio" look to it but nothing in the Ohio books. Thanks, Jack
