Alex,
I checked "Redefern" on the Internet Gun Club database. Nothing found. Are you sure it is not RedFern?
I have several Birmingham and Belgium back action guns sitting here. I do not find any heavy curving.
When you have the barrels off, is there any proof mark on them? All the English guns I have, do at least have the proof house stamp on them.
Old percussion pieces are hard to date at times. Various makers continued to make them into the 1920's. Very often these later guns were meant for the African trade.
