this gun is marked [a. richard] on both sideplates and is a hammer gun. i have some fine sxs shotguns w c scott etc. and this one is of the same quality as i had said i thought it would be a garden grade gun but it isnt. the stocks would be considered exhibition burl walnut grade today. it is a belgium gun and so proofed [* over v] [crown over e l g in an oval] [j under oval] chokes both 18.3 an assortment of other #s and scrips. i would guess it is a water fowl gun with 32 in. barrels and weighing 9 pds plus. i would really like to know more about this gun. just one other point the engraving is very well executed with the scroll work and the pointers standing on a knol in a field is very fine.
