Met my buddy that I shoot with every Sunday morning and he had an older 20 ga bp shotgun.He owns a gun shop but isn't really a bp guy. We decided we'd shoot it to see if it would work. We loaded and shot the right barrel first and it went bang and the shot came out. Good start. Checked the left barrel and it had a partial load in it, powder only, got it out and reloaded it and it shot fine. Shot the right barrel again with no trouble. Told him I'd buy it and offered him twice what he paid and he took it.
Got the gun home to clean up and there are no ID marks or proofs on the gun anywhere. On the left lock there is some scroll work on the border of the lock and what looks like a running rabbit at the rear of the lock. On the right lock there is the same border scroll and a flower looking thing surrounding a screw head and what looks like a running dog. On the top of the wrist there is an oblong disc with some scrolling on it and what appears to be the initials in ornate script J K. The J may be an F, not sure about it. There is the number 32 stamped heavily in the left side butt stock near the butt.
All the furniture is steel. I took it apart and there is nothing identifying the make inside the locks or the stock. Wood is in fair shape with a few surficial cracks but no real splits.
Anyone familiar with the initials or why the number is stamped in the stock?
