thank you for the replies I am looking at a Stensby that will be a long term buying project if that makes sense I will be paying it of over a long time it is in the hands of a collecter who picked it up in a trade as it is a boxlock and he is more interested in sidelocks it is surplus to his requirements
the gun is a BLE weighs 6Ib 4oz 2 1/2" chambers not sure of the barrel length or chokes but it handles beutifully as soon as I picked it up I had to have it it has a wonderfull peice of wood on it and some very heavily engraved fences I will have to try and get some photos
Chicago from memeory your gun is numbered around this one the owner rang T Stensby and was able to get info on it it was early 1900's as well
Hammergun in Oz we can get onto the Australian War Memorial and look up soldiers names to get some of there details I do not know if there is something similiar in the UK
