Mohawk Chief 12 gauge Shotgun - The Firearms Forum

I have a Mohawk Chief 12 gauge shotgun that belonged to my husbands great grandfather. The family called it a "Longtom." It has Mohawk Gun Co on left side with the number 13965 below. On the top of the barrel it has MOHAWK CHIEF. My husbands father played with it as a child (b.1916) and said it was old then. Can you give me any history on this gun?

the only information i have on "mohawk" or "mohawk chief" is brand name seen on shotguns manufactured by 'cresent firearms co.' and sold by "blish, mize & shillman co. of atchinson, kansas. no era of manufacturer is given.
