Destry,
Yes I posted pictures of then on other thread W.Parker looks like it is a 7 gauge if they made such a thing? I hope to get to the bottom of it.

The stamp of the "7" is the plug gauge. Most gauges were one size larger in number, 1 size smaller in diameter for finishing/polishing, so it looks to be a Birmingham 6 bore but 0.873" is for a 7 bore. Sure they could have been such a thing.

Kind Regards,

Raimey

I've got a Wooley and Sargent double muzzle loading 6 bore myself. Odd gauges in big bore muzzle loaders aren't uncommon. Yours is in really nice shape apparently, mine is a major beater. I bought it years ago just because it was so huge and cool looking. The barrels are too thin to shoot sadly, I'd love to give it a try.
