STORE BRAND CROSSOVER LIST- Many guns made during the mid 20th Century were marked with "Trade Names" for a specific distributor or retail chain store such as Western Auto or Sears instead of the manufacturer's name.  This handy list  provides a cross-reference of Store Brands to original manufacturer and model number. While this list not comprehensive, it does cover most major stores and chains that have had their name put on guns by other manufacturers.
