I like Scotts, this is an 1887 Premier, 12 gauge. Sorry for the crude picture, if I get motivated I’ll try to take some better ones.

Wow - I love those old Scotts. that hammerless gun is very cool.
Homeless, what are the details on yours? Does it have a lot of drop? A straight stock?
I just passed on a Premier hammergun and now I'm thinking I may take another look at it.

FWIW, it is W & C Scott(for William & Charles, two sons) , not W.C. Scott(as in W.C. Fields)
All are well made guns,IMO.

MP
Is there a snake engraved somewhere among the birds? My similiar Premier has a snake in one birds mouth and two other backaction Premiers a I looked at in Vegas had them also.
PS Bring those coiled brass loads to Vegas I plan on being there.
Homeless Joe,
That is a pretty cool Premier. I have a similiar 10ga with the profuse scroll engraving. I am told that Premiers without birds and complete coverage with scroll are "rarer". Don't know if it is true, but it makes for a nice change from the rest.

Your 12 looks like my 10's cousin. Is the twelve a Triplex Lever Grip ? What kind of forearm release does the twelve have ?
My 10 gauge is reproofed for 3 & 1/2" Nitro, 4 tons and 1 & 1/2 ozs of shot. According to the Proof marks sometime after 1950. I shoot 10 guage black powder out of it or chamber mates 12's. It's heavy, almost 11 lbs with 32" barrels both choked about improved modified the drop points are 1 & 5/8" x 2" with a 14 & 1/8" pull to a skeleton steel butt.
