I am interested in learning a little more about a couple of guns. One is a Lancaster double with hammers. That was described as the shotgun that Capt John Speke Victorian explorer accidently shot himself with in England. I don't find much information on the manufacturer. The description did mention it was with out the normal safetys, whatever that means. I would assume it had side hammers so?????
The other is the gun Samuel Baker carried while exploring the nile in the 1860's described only as an extremely large gun shooting a 1/2 pound shell. I am assuming a 2 bore???
I wondered if anyone had any further information in either or where I could look.
