Thank you all very much.Kensal the checkering is worn enough that it really is hard to tell what it was like.I have several other english hammer guns I could use as examples I suppose.I can use the gun as is it just doesnt have any finish left so I thought I would rebrown the bbls,get the checkering recut and reoil the wood.By my (low) standards it is a pretty nice old gun.
