I've always thought the British single shot hammer-guns were elegant and that one might make a striking squirrel gun for a country squire like myself. I recently found one for sale on GI in 16ga. It has a 31" barrel and weighs in at 5lb 3oz. It is a J.V.Needham of Birmingham and the serial number looks like 1830. Anyone have an idea about date of manufacture, damascus type, or anything about the maker???











I made a less than list offer and I've bought it but don't have it in hand just yet, so I have no pictures of the proof marks. Any information would be appreciated...Geo
