trying to get some more information about my dad's old muzzleload, SxS. i THINK it's late 19th century, british-made, with liège proofmarks.
attached are a couple full-length photos and some close-ups of the proofmarks found on the underside of the barrel.
barely visible on the top of the barrel rib are the words 'REAL TWIST'. there are no other visible markings (ie, gunmaker, etc). but it does have some nice scroll throughout on lock plates, hammers, trigger guard, and underside (no close-ups of 'REAL TWIST' and scroll work not attached)
hoping someone here can provide some additional information - who made it, dates (range) of manufacturer, etc.
thanks. bob.
