Line to right of breech is where it has been cut when adapted to percussion, losing a proof mark in the process.

Well, I persevered and got it done; I didn't worry about the odd words/letters!

Looks like Martin Brander located at 70 Minories & Goodman's Yard, London between 1802-1827. He worked with Thomas Potts and the company was sometimes listed as Brander & Potts...sometimes Brander & Sons. The GP under a crown is the gunmaker's proof marks for London makers.

Why can't I see the photos? I get a message telling me to update my account to allow third party hosting, or some such thing. Not at all sure what it all means.

Not seeing the images Photo bucket has now charged for images that's why you are seeing uptade my account .
Sure Dodgydave will come along and explain the gun .

They take my money from a auto draft but I still couldn't access the photos. Need to get away from them and, somehow, take all my pics too.

I think it was decided earlier on in this post, that this piece was by Martins Father, William Brander.

all that extra stuff disappears.

I'm sure I can sort it next time, it's just that I put quite a few photos on in one go and didn't worry too much about the additional letters etc. :wink:
