Percussion shotgun double barrel

[Blackpowdernewby]

I picked up an ole wall hanger, double barrel percussion shotgun. It has alot of old surface rust that has hidden any manufacturing marks. The muzzle of the two barrels have had parts eroded away.However in the right light you can see scroll work on the lock plate. I'm hoping that some one can help me identify this shotgun, I'd appreciate your help. That's,...black powder newby. I trying to attach some pictures but as you can see black powder is not the only thing I'm new at.

Photos are a must for this category. "Double barrel" and "rust" don't give us much to go on. :wink:

you'll definitely need to show pics. Particularly of the underside of the barrels on the breech end. This is where the proof marks will be. If you need to and feel inclined clean them up a little with steel wool to make them more visible.

Without a makers mark somewhere the proof marks are what will give you the majority of your information on the gun. Also, particularly with Belgian guns some makers put their mark alongside the proof marks and it will often be mistaken for such.


This is what we're looking for.
