Raimey, prompted by your post I had anoother look under Lang and first James Lang entry in Holt's archive gives me this :JAMES LANG
AN 8-BORE DOUBLE-BARRELLED ROTARY-UNDERLEVER HAMMERGUN, serial no. 10283,
30in. black powder only fine damascus barrels (shortened, some internal pitting), rib engraved 'JAMES LANG. 18 BROOK STREET. NEW BOND STREET. LONDON.', treble-grip action with carved percussion fences, Jones patent rotary underlever, rebounding back-action locks, border engraving, the action flats, fore-end iron and barrel flats with the crossed gun James Lang trade mark, some external patination overall, 14 1/2in. semi-pistolgrip stock including 1 1/8in. wooden extension, weight 11lb. 15oz.

I looked at this yesterday and was concentrating on looking for the trade mark and not reading the description. Sad old Scots git blush
