Doverham, there are similarities, especially in the stock carving, I'm guessing the gun you're showing is a boxlock with side-plates. When you say scalloped back do you mean the heavily carved fences on both these guns? If so that's pretty common on French guns, they loved carved balls. One thing that is interesting on both guns is how thin the fences (balls) are. I don't have this gun in hand yet, but when I do and can really inspect it and take some nice closeup pictures I'll learn a lot more. After all that's half the fun! My son bought me a Canon SLR camera for Christmas, so once I thoroughly figure out how to use the thing taking good pictures should be a snap.
