Gunworks of Buffalo (BFLO) NY. Bought an unusual derringer made by them andI'm running across zero information about the maker.

Not much in the Blue Book. The info says that is a Model 9 and was discontinued in 1986.

I have no idea.
That said, I have an OLD SxS 12ga that has "The Compeer Gun Co. of Indianapolis, In" stamped on the barrel.
I tried to research the Compeer Gun Co. and found next to nothing, but other firearms have been sold under many different names.

My first shotgun was a "Westernfield" 12ga pump. It was a Mossberg 500, but did not say Mossberg anywhere.
Some of these older firearms were what was know as "hardware store guns".
At one time, Stevens, Mossberg, Winchester... all sold firearms that were branded with distributors names.
Western Auto sold a lot of such guns.

Well, I got the call that my new project had arrived at my local FFL, and I must say, it's an unusual gun. It's missing its extractor, which shouldn't be a terribly difficult part to fabricate. What is strange is that it appears to be missing some sort of transfer bar that also acts as a selector. Also, all fasteners, including the breech face insers that retan the spring loaded firing pins are Allen heads. I think this little holdout gun may havebeen a bit ahead of its time.

Marlin sold guns branded with distributors' names as well.

It's called Private Labeling. The place I work made many electronic components for different car manufacturers and we put their stickers or engraved covers on many air bag sensors, restraint systems, engine controls, etc.
