M Thunder, let's try it again. You've uploaded them to Photobucket, that's good. Now, highlight the http window (that's the bottom one), click it and you should see "copied" in the window. If so, come over here, put your cursor in the reply window and right click, highlight "paste" and click. That's all there is to it--should work like a charm. Can't say why your photos didn't show up last time.

A junker? Only a gunsmith under close inspection could tell you that, but to me, that's one beautiful shotgun you have there!!

J. Cooper is not in my list of Folsom or Pieper tradenames, but similar guns are here http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/20091267

Look on the bottom of the barrels for Belgian proof marks

Boothroyds Book on British Gunsmiths shows on J Cooper on Mears sT. 1863, WHICH IS ABOUT THE TIME mine was made. I am doubtful that yours is an English gun from its appearance. Look for Liege marks on the bottom of the barrels.
Below is my J. Cooper
