Trying to get some information on British (provincial I assume) gunmaker Samuel Buckley & Co. I have a nice 10 gauge sidelock with Damascus barrels that belonged to my great grandfather, who was a railroad guy in upstate New York. I think the gun was a gift for him when he retired from the railroad. The gun has scalloped side plates with really nice engraving. Case coloring on the side plates is still vibrant and the Damascus (now lacquered) is in great shape. I used it on late season doves several years ago and it's been a wall hanger since. The way I understand it, my grandfather (son of the original owner) gave it to a friend because he didn't want to have a Damascus gun in the house. And the friend in the late 50s, as I recall, contacted my father (grandson of the original owner) to see if he wanted it back. Dad gave it to me and of course I had to shoot it--just because. Any info on the maker would be most appreciated. Thanks, Gil
