Looks like a high quality piece. Anyone know the maker?

Geo, you must be familiar with the gun. The engraving difference is interesting.

Craig, I'm not familiar with the gun the OP referred to, but my pictures above are from my own Scott gun. I recognized the unusual forend release because I shoot doves with mine every year. I think mine is a lower grade...Geo

I agree George, definitely off of a W & C Scott.

agreeing with george, the forearm release is instantly recognizable as scott device....i have a 1893 monte carlo with very similar style engraving.

I have a reprint of the Scott catalog with my gun in it. Mine's marked "Not for Ball". There were several grades shown with this forend treatment...Geo
