Just joined and this is my first post. I noticed the thread on Piepers and, as I have three, looked a little more closely. The gun CJO posted is actually one of mine. I was lucky enough to have CJO do some beautiful restoration work on the gun. I also have a 16 bore boxlock with the same lockup but not quite as high a grade. Both these guns have chopperlump barrels. As well I have a 12 bore sidelock Diana fine damascus with the original 1881 monoblock patent noted on the rib. It was subjected at some point in time to a hideous restock. I haven't got around to fixing that yet. If there is any interest I'll take some pictures and figure out how to post them.
