Key markings on the left side of the receiver include TOPPER MODEL 158, HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON, INC., WORC. MASS. U.S.A., and the serial number AH205417.

Condition report:
The shotgun is in good overall condition. The barrel\'s blued finish shows scattered thinning and minor freckling along its length. The color case hardened receiver remains vibrant with minimal wear. The wood stock and forend show scattered handling marks, light scratches, and small dings consistent with field use. The bore is bright and appears well-maintained. The action appears to function correctly, though we have not function-tested this firearm. The red rubber recoil pad shows some hardening and surface wear consistent with age.
