I know there are a few gentlemen here that have and know about English shotguns and maybe small bore will chime in.
12 ga. 27 1/16" Damascus barrels .010 right and .040 left contriction. Serial # 34347. Top of barrel in oval Patent Treble Wedge Fast. Then on rib St. Mary's Square, Birmingham, England Winner of all Gun Trials 1875-1891. 24 lpi checkering weighs 6 lbs even. 14 1/8" LOP 2 7/8" DAH. Bores are .735 both barrels and I presume it has 2 1/2" chambers. Safety as you can see is on side and is manual.
Any information would be very appreciative. Aside from a few dings in the barrel, crack near safety and a sliver of wood missing near top tang, I think it is in good shape for an old gun. I'm figuring around 1892-3. I paid under $400. for it.
