This is one of the first. This shotgun was made in 1866. It is extremely high quality fit and finish. It is a round body, back action gun with Stanton sidelocks. I was lucky to find it in a gun shop that didn't know what he really had. I have taken turkeys with this gun... Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is, listening to Texans..John Steinbeck

It was a .50 cal percussion gun, gifted from Prince Albert to the Bishop of Bond ST(William Bishop who ran Westley Richard operation in London) and used in a deer park. It was a lovely rifle. Daw was a great maker and under appreciated in my eye. Wonderful gun you have and you look like a happy man. Enjoy it in good health. http://www.bertramandco.com/ Booking African hunts, firearms import services Here for the meltdowns
