Found Damascus' image and will repost it. Can't be 1840 though. As discussed no UK pin-fires existed that we know of before about 1853 when Hodges completed his first apprentice gun and when Lang then bought the gun and brought out his first commercially marketed pin-fire sometime in early 1854 (or perhaps even as much as a year later). Perhaps it was converted from a Muzzle Loader? It would be interesting to see a photo of the action flats and barrel flats. It has an under-the-guard lever which could be either a single-bite Beringer style lump or a later Jones double bite. Gene
