    lookin for some info on some on historical firearms

    Hi all,
    Wondering if any of you fine gentlemen may have a little bit of info on one or all of these weapons. If this is the wrong forum, please forgive and move. I recently took possession of these after the passing of my grandfather who was a WWII pilot. He brought the bolt action back from the war and I'm not sure where the shotgun came from. The pistol is a S&W and I'm unsure of caliber. The bolt action rifle is Japanese and the shotgun is an Ithaca Gun Co what I believe to be 16 ga. But I'm an idiot and that is based on a quick google search. I'm very honored to be the one he left these weapons to and was looking for any historical or more specific info on them.

    The handgun you have is a S&W model 1 1/2. They made some .32 rimfire and centerfire in those.
