I know bespoke guns could be made to whatever configuration the customer wanted, but what British makers produced 12 ga guns specifically marketed to the waterfowler? I'm thinking of guns similar to W.W. Greener's "Far Killing" shotguns.

Where there other makers that commonly produced heavy (7 lbs +), tightly choked 12 ga guns as common production items? How common were 3 inch chambers proofed for 1 1/2 oz loads in British made waterfowl guns post WWII.

I'm starting to look for a vintage, British made, heavy 12 ga waterfowl gun and wanted to see what someone might suggest looking for, for say under $5000 to start with.
