    Help Id an early 1800s english smoothbore shortstock

    Hi, looking for help finding more info on this old caplock smoothbore muzzleloader that's about 20 gauge (its the size of wads that fit in...). 1st picture, under the barrel, close to the nipple, from the proof marks, I understand it might have been proofed in 1815-1855 (BPC and V mark only)...
