This week I picked up a 10 gauge Scott damascus barreled hammergun circa 1875. With the black powder proofs is stamped “11”. Bores measure .765 with no choke. I know 11 gauge is .750 but I don’t think the bores have been lapped for pitting. Under the accumulated grime, red rust and dried oil I found excellent bores. Also, the locks are rebounding but have a half cock, which surprised me. The gun came out of a NVa estate and the original owner was a judge in Philadelphia with last name starting with M. No engraving whatsoever but the wood has killer figure. Gun has a high English stock and fits me which is surprising since so many I’ve seen have miles of drop.

Eeb, we used to say abroad, if it isn't written up, it didn't exist. Same for this board with photos. Let me know if I can help.
