I just received a copy of the 1909 Three-Barrel Gun Company catalogue from Cornell Publications, via Ebay. They have more issues available; the 1908, I think, at least. Since the company only operated under that name from 1905-1908, this one would seem to have never been operative; I've heard that the 1909 and 1910 guns were sold under the Royal Gun Co. rubric. This catalogue confirms some of what we've discussed here above: they mention 4 grades, 0 through 3; 3 gauges, 12, 16, and 20; 5 calibres, 32-40, 30-30, 25-35, 25-25, and 25-20, three barrel steels for the shotguns, one for the rifle barrels; 2 optional peep sights; a single-barreled trap gun in 3 grades A, B, and C; prices for all of the above, and a suggestion that special orders were available for a premium "up to $500.00". I suspect that anyone owning one of these guns would be interested in one of these reprints; try cornellpubs.com for a list.
