Gil; Id venture to say that if Dan Morgan doesnt know who made your 2 gun, then finding out who did make it will be a very tough nut to crack. Did Dan think it likely to be a guild gun? Pretty gun, and like Karl said...nice leather pad.
Socialism is almost the worst.

Thanks, Buzz , Karl. No, Dan didn't say. However he did say that he has handled and seen thousands of doubles, but this is the first rounded rib he'd seen. Gil

Gil,
Is it a little distracting to look down the rib? The pictures make it look like you'd be looking down a third barrel. Skimin and Wood made quite a few 2" guns. Arthur Howell & Co. also made 2" guns. Enjoy a nice light 12!

KD, the first photo's perspective is deceptive and my use of the word "taper" may have been a poor choice. Here's a photo showing that the "taper" is actually a flat surface running the same plane as the top of the action. The rib dips below the area on which appears the name "J.W. Lewis" and rises to the bead. Shouldered the rib is below the barrels and action and not seen. In the "swamped rib" thread there was discussion of a concave rib. I suppose the flip side of a concave rib would be a convex rib. Dickson made 2" 12's as well. Gil

I want to see that one, Gil. What load are you thinking?
7/8 oz. at about 1125?
