I just "lettered" a S&W Triple Lock revolver I recently bought and it was shipped in 1917 to Shapliegh Hardware Co. in St. Louis, MO. There were 325 guns in this shipment. That's a pretty big order! I have also heard that this outfit had guns made by H&R for them that bore their own trademarked brand name.
This hardware company sounds like it was a major gun seller! I would like to know some more about this place if anyone can help me out. Are they still around? If not, when did they close? Any info appreciated. Thanks.
