Interesting to have just purchased this gun with another thread discussing the gunmaker. I haven't seen this particular receiver before. Could anyone tell me where it might have been made and why it appears to be so long at the forend? Also the barrels are marked, 'choke bored' and 'royal damascus'. What exactly does that mean given it was made in around the time chokes were being experimented with? And last does 'royal damascus' have any particular meaning?

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
