I’ve owned four Papes, still have one and must have looked at 10-15 more over the years. All have been well made guns. If it says Wm. Ford on the barrels I agree it most likely rebarreled. We cherish originality, while in the trade it’s all about being in proof for resale, so nobody worries about replacing a set of barrels by a well known source like Ford unless it is a top three London makers gun. Evaluate the gun not the name or names on it.
