I noted from the pictures that the engraving is very similar to some of the engraving on American guns especially on the Meriden and/or A. J. Aubrey sidelocks maybe from the same hand???
Their locks are nicely engraved and finished, so if you had the chance to buy a nicely engraved Tobin or Meriden which would you consider and which would you buy? Not just for looks or collecting purposes but to use in the field.
