Guy's thank you so much. That's a lot of info. And taking time out to research. Interesting old gun. Most likely will just display this one, or sell if I buy another small bore hammer gun. Only really want one hammer for now.

I have such a gun, 12 bore, hammerless sidelocks, crude would be the word. Really nice Damascus, English proof marks, but was made in Belgium, the water table looks like it was gouged out.

Marked "James and Reynolds" on the rib. Anyone hear of them?

I for one don't recognize it @ all. Must have been some fly by night Hardware Merchant and it is possible it was a jobber, but I just don't think so. Any export/import marks applied to it?


Cheers,

The proof mark on rollbac’s barrel looks like somewhat like a Birmingham proof mark as pointed out in the first post. What is the connection to Ketland?



As does the visible proof mark on the old shotgun marked “Powell” above.
