I would appreciate some help in identifying this set of barrels, I have another set that I would like help with too and that will be in a separate thread. These are from the estate of Dale Edmonds and he didn't remember anything about them. They are 12 guage barrels.

It is a set of tubes that experienced London Preliminary proof & then was shipped or was to be shipped to the Continent. IF true to the period, most Europeans wanted to be British and fancied British wares.

the length and straight sides of the rib extension, with the small radiused chamfers at the corners...look like an early version of the webley "screw-grip". later version went to a sort of doll-head shape extensions.

best regards,
tom

a rear or side profile photo of the rib extension would serve to confirm or deny the notion advanced previously....

My guess is the barrels are either the second set of barrels in a two-barrel set or the barrels from the second gun in a two-gun set.
