I took possession of the Napoleon gun for a short period of time in order to take a volume of photographs. There is no provenance on this gun no papers only an ownership trail for the past two owners. However, it is a spectacular gun! There are markings on the barrel of the gun which I hope can be used to identify the maker or company. Additionally, there is an emblem or Crest which was with the gun, which I am assuming to be of some significance. However, compared to the gun the emblem is of poor quality. The stock carving are wonderfully ornate and of the highest quality. I hope the images capture the true beauty. The gold inlays and engravings are also of the highest quality. If any of these markers are familiar to board members I would welcome your thoughts. Knowing I have much research ahead of me, I thought I might start with some passionate experts right here on the boards. Thanks.
