I went to a gunshow today and picked up a couple of toys.
The first is a 22 lever action single shot that says J.G.A. ZELLA MEHLIS GERMANY on the barrel.
It has a flip down front sight. The rifling and bore are excellent.
The recoil pad says "STEVENS FAVORITE"
Can anyone tell me a little history about it and maybe approximate value?

The second one is a single shot 20 gauge made by Remington.
It says Remington Arms Co. Ilion. N.Y. USA. Pat oct 80 1894.
The reason I am asking about the shotgun is that it has a external hammer on the side but an internal firing pin.
