I was hoping someone could provide me with some information on this maker. The sidelocks are engraved with J. Forsyth, the rib with the name and Bedford St. London. It has external hammers, non rebounding locks, 12 gauge, Birmingham black powder proof marks, and is stamped choke on both barrels. It has a very strange damascus pattern. Both barrels have a fairly tight, even scroll from the muzzle to about 6" from the breech. The pattern starts to stretch out until it almost falls apart. I've heard of using a tighter pattern at the breeches but not the other way around. Is this common? Would anyone be able to tell me anything about this maker? The gun is in very good shape and doesn't look to have been shot much. Perhaps the damascus pattern frightened them. Thank you.
