Kirkwood was more a retailer than a gunsmith. Kirkwood imported shotguns in various stages of finish and finished them for sale. Kirkwood also patented a peculiar rifle action and apparently finished and sold them. In the later years, I believe that Kirkwood was more of a hardware store than anything else. A friend of mine has a Kirkwood Drilling with two 12 ga shotgun barrels with rifled muzzles above a .38-55 rifle barrel.
