Deamon I bid for the gun some thirty five years ago at a farm winding up sale near Whitchurch which is not far from Shrewsbury, included with the gun were a couple of boxes of pinfire black powder cartridges they all went up in smoke not long after I purchased the gun enjoyable all the same, I wish knew then what I know now they were a very valuable commodity. Somehow the point of the stocks comb looked as if it had been intentionally damaged how or why I have no idea but I am sure it lowered the price, in the photograph you can see the timber that has been let in though in normal lighting it is not half as noticeable. As for the hammers I do feel that they are original and not replacement castings because they fit so well and the engraving has been done by the same hand. Also I cant see the owner paying good money to have such a pair of ugly duckling hammers as aftermarket replacements but you never know!!!
