So, here's my best guess on the provenance of my T. Newton shotgun. It's a 1930's gun nicely made but with no engraving and in 95% original condition and has untouched screws. Initials on the oval are "TPM". I think there's a good chance the owner was a casualty in WW2 and the gun was kept by the family in a closet until the 70's when the gun laws in England forced its sale. Collector Firearms in Houston imported it and guess it changed hands a couple times before I ended up with it. Sounds reasonable but we'll never know....
