So the constabulary have come up with this jem if you shoot the gun it will have to be entered on your Licence but if you do not intend to shoot the gun it can be kept as a curio and kept under lock and key. The gun in the picture was built by Samuel Ebrall of Shrewsbury. I was lucky when I came across the gun it had a lot of the reloading tools with it.


Any cased pinfire is a cause for celebration, better still if it comes with loading tools!
