Hi, guys!
I posted this on Shotgunworld, but didn't get any luck so far. Maybe you can help.
Back in June at Friendship, the wife bought me a sweet percussion SxS so that I can shoot trap with her, rather than just dumping her off and heading to the skeet range. :lol:
Anyway, I like to research our original guns that we shoot, and I'm drawing a blank on this one.
Like I said, it is a percussion bar-action SxS, marked 13 ga in one barrel, and 14 in the other (but it actually mikes out a little looser, so we can use 13 ga. wads in both. Marking on the locks is "Moore & Co.", and just "Fine twist" on the top rib. It also has Birmingham proof marks underneath, that has it dated 1855 - 1875
At first, I figured that it was going to be a Belgian knock-off, playing on WM. Moore's good name, but the Birmingham proof marks threw me for a loop :?
I'm not looking for a value, as we bought this as a shooter because it really fits me well. Just wanting to know more about the maker.
