Small Bore;

Lovely mainspring with the taper of the limbs and gap clearance when compressed just perfect, not to mention the perfect polish.

Whilst not, the fit and finish of a Purdey, the photos show what excellent quality there there was in lower tier shotguns of the era and demonstrates what can be done by a craftsman who was taught to file level--usually in a workshop absent any machinery and electricity at that time. Maybe a treadle lathe and a "bow" drill if they were lucky.

Thanks for providing the photos.
