Williams and Powell - Liverpool - 10/17/19 04:02 AM
Just snagged a W and P double 12 bore. From what I can see and compare to the charts I've round on various posts here it was proofed before 1904 at Birmingham and then again post 2005.
Its been elsewhere though - one mark I cannot find reference here for London or Birmingham is a "R" with a crown above it and also there is a "12-70" on the flats. Any ideas?
I can't post photos unfortunately as I don't have any web hosting for them but it is a thing of beauty. Seems that serial records aren't available but I was told it was pre 1897.
It also has a 14/1 and a 13 on the barrels. not sure what this signifies as this is my first double - any information gratefully accepted
