Thanks again. I feel that I really lucked out with finding this girl. And was able to get ahold of her for a good good price too.
While we're on it. Would the non gold inlays for Belgium in this time period be silver or platinum?

I think it would depend on the level of adornment and I would like to think it was platinum. But platinum is harder that hammered He!! with the melting point quite high, being about double that of silver.
Kind Regards,

I was thinking that too. But, realizing that it was often used in vents. I figured I should ask.
This is the only one I have seen with double octagonal to round barrels, with or without flutes. It makes for a gun a bit on the heavy side. I was thinking it may have been specifically for firing heavier loads to reach out/up to higher flying geese and such.

Probably side tube reinforcement that distracts the eye via adornment. Put it to work. Load it up and top it off with some #2 Bismuth and not much will escape you. There's a blast to shoot, after you become accustom to the slight delay, & even more astounding while watching.
Kind Regards,

Oh I have. I got proper humiliated by some woodies last year and stood up by Geese. This year I'll gettem!
Going to get going on the patterning soon. I've been playing around making up some shot/wad/card/cup cartridges like the Eley patent cartridges. I hope to be able to develop good load recipes using them. Only way I'll be able to keep up with my modern shooting buddies chasing quail.
Also need to work out that shoot, take a step to the side to see around the smoke, shoot again dance. lol

Here is a batch ready for export from the 1930's. No one claimed this trade is going on.  Schepers was around during the muzzle loader period. He held 6 patents for improving a muzzle loader. I still maintain that this was a presentation piece. While not on the par with a gun made for royalty, it is well above the common. Peter

That is very similar.
I like the way the worm is set up and held on. Is it threaded on or ??????

It's threaded on, just unscrew it and reverse to use.

Nice. I'm going to have to make something similar for mine. I hate having to carry a separate worm.
