Some nice Boswell guns there. Obendorf I would suspect yours is a game gun with the engraving of pheasant and English grey partridge. Greg, it's not unusual for 16 bores to be ordered by Gentlemen of advancing years to use as game guns. With the original owner being a military man of some rank it shouldn't be too hard to find out more about his career. If you know his Regiment it should be even easier. Lagopus.....
