Question

I took a wire brush to it to try to clean it up a little, and I found the name on the side that said NEWPORT,and behind the trigger graud I found partial numbers A49_62 the middle # has rusted away. I was told by the person that found the gun that it was a pasture in the mud. They didn`t know anything about it. I was hoping that I could find out the history of if. I hope you can help me. Barry
