I just got this from Kirby at Vintage doubles. This gun is spectacular. I have showed it to a number of people that are stunned with the condition of this gun dating from the early 1870's. The attention to detail on this gun is beyond compare, what a dandy. I will be shooting it soon...

Stay away from my gun...


This is a really cool feature, where it shows if the gun is loaded by the lettering on the firing pin...

You may have a pin hole in the top of the left barrel about 1"
in front of the standing breech.

Good Lord! restocked and a pinhole. What a bunch of detectives.

No pinhole and it isn't restocked. Look at a LC Smith or something if you want to pick something apart. Powell guns are top tier English guns and this is a real nice 150 year old survivor...
