I saw a couple in use on Saskatchewan farms when I was a kid in the 1960s, and they seem to show up online fairly regularly, either for sale or for identification. The Model 1 was an inexpensive boyвЂ™s rifle, and it was fairly popular for its era. There was also a deluxe version with a checkered stock, with the lion logo inset on a brass medallion. If your rifleвЂ™s stock was refinished, the stamp may have been sanded away. The Dormant Lion logo was usually stamped on the left rear of the stock. The insignia you mention is a company trademark called the вЂњDormant Lion.вЂќ What appears to be a serpent is actually the lionвЂ™s tail (at least thatвЂ™s what the sources say, though it sure doesnвЂ™t look like a lion to me). The letters вЂњD.R.P.вЂќ stand for вЂњDeutsche Reichspatent.вЂќ Deutsche Werke also produced the Ortgies pistols around the same time. 22s were made from 1919 to 1939 by Deutsche Werke of Erfurt, Germany, but IвЂ™m afraid I have no way to pin down the exact year yours was made. GermanyвЂќ is stamped on the side hinge plate, and thereвЂ™s an insignia on top of the hinge plate that looks like a serpent in a circle with вЂњMod 1вЂќ stamped beneath it. On the left side of the barrel just ahead of the hinge mechanism, itвЂ™s stamped вЂњCAL 22 long rifle.вЂќ On the top of the barrel itвЂ™s stamped вЂњDEUTSHE WERKE-WERK ERFURT,вЂќ and on the bottom of the barrel there are what appear to be two crowns with the letter вЂњBвЂќ and вЂњ5.4 mm.вЂќ As well, вЂњD.R.P. 22 (above)? ItвЂ™s been in our family for at least 70 years. IвЂ™d estimate value in the range of $175 to $200.Д¬ould you tell me a little bit about this old single-shot. Harrington & Richardson made a large number of single-shot shotguns, and although theyвЂ™re not very fancy guns, theyвЂ™re well made, safe and serviceable. The Greenwing Special was made from 1978 to 1983. ItвЂ™s weight is around five pounds, and IвЂ™d guess the recoil with three-inch magnum loads would be right up there. 410, apparently as a youth gun with a shorter length of pull. It was chambered in 20 and 28 gauges, as well as in. The Greenwing Special was made by Harrington & Richardson as a variation of the Topper Model 158. I would like to know how much itвЂ™s worth. It appears to be in mint condition, and it takes three-inch shells. The previous owner told me itвЂ™s 20 years old and has never been fired. I recently bought this 20-gauge Greenwing Special (above and below).
