Thanks for the info.The back action, percussion lock puts the gun in the mid 1800's. It may have been a full stock that was cut down. Mainly due to the lack of an under rib. Its seen plenty of use. Its more of a generic universal hardware store shotgun of the last half of the 19th century.
That's perfect info. Thank you so much. CharlieMy guess is its Belgium import 1850s could be early 20th even. But unfortunately I cant link it any earlier than c1830s at earliest .Its a knockabout farmers sort of gun nothing more romantic. These posts will show you late 18th Early to mid 19thc Kentucky rifles so called . Sorry I cant be more helpful than that .Its still an old workhorse and someone helped develop the US with guns no better ,sort of gun might be taken on the westward migrations . Who knows what tale it could tell but it cant talk. Cheers Rudyard
