OP Rich A Sidelock Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 60	I'm looking for information and insight on this gunmaker from Liverpool. I'm considering buying a 16ga damascuss boxlock hammerless gun from a friend. The gun is marked William & Powell 25 S. Castle St Liverpool on the rib. What I have learned is that this address was used from approximately 1860-1876 at different periods. I would think that even the latest date of 1876 would be early for a hammerless gun. The other features of this gun are an auto safety, doll head rid extension, full coverage rose and scroll engraveing, extractors. The gun weighs between 5 1/2-6 lbs. The watertable is marked Anson & Deely Patent 7173 and the serial number is 10151. It's nitro proffed for 1oz loads but I'm sure this is in most likely hood a reproof for more modern ammo. This is a nice gun in good condition but as I have very little knowledge on English guns I'm seeking knowledge, thought and opinions from those that are more familiar with these guns. Thank you for your help Rich A
