Could anyone help me identify the make and model of my grandfather's double barrel shotgun?

Can you take additional pictures of the receiver markings, with the light from different angles, and orient the photos to be landscape instead of portrait?

My first guess based on hammer shape and what I can read on the receiver "...Arms Co" would be a Hopkins & Allen Arms Co shotgun. You might Google them.

Looks similar to shotguns made by Crescent Arms Co. It seems they manufactured shotguns under a bunch of different names. Based on your picture possibly Wolverine Arms Co.
