Rocket...I agree.....I have just looked at a similar gun on the archives of James Julia.....the barrels do indeed have the J.W& S on each barrel and small type Whitworth steel beneath. The serial numbers are larger type and on both barrels. as I indicated, I will provide as much info once I see the gun to get to the bottom, if possible about the genesis of the barrels....anxious to shoot it anyway.

Just to do some further research , it appears that the dates if the order of the Gun put it more in line with the 12th Earl....who probably went broke because he was into horse racing...I have looked in several books on Driven shooting and his name does not come up except a female party goer at that time.
