As noted previously we do have a tendency to judge the way repairs where done in the past from our modern standpoint of todays technology, this being rather unfair and rather condescending. In the photograph is the barrel lump section of a 12 bore double barrel shotgun at the time it was off the face when the repair showing was undertaken. This curved punch repair was done by a high standing gunmaker and gunsmith Samuel Ebrall. At the time this form of repair to put the gun back on face was completely acceptable because over the years I have seen many guns with these curved punch marks on the barrel hook.
