Hey guys,
I had the opportunity to match one set of barrels to another, in a two barrel set.
The upper set was refinished, the bottom left alone. The upper set is cylinder bore in both barrels and was the set used the most. The lower set is choked.
These barrels are off of a J.V. Needham hammergun, c.1876. There are two sets of numbers on each barrels, a 4xxx series that do not match, and a 10xxx series that do match. From what I can find, the 4xxx numbers are Needham's serial numbers, but I do not know what the 10xxx series represents.
Anyway, I think I got fairly close with the color, considering the difference in barrels patterns. I hope you enjoy the pic.
