Thanks Bob! I appreciate the information. Being a pinfire, 1860s makes sense and seems possible. I did see an old auction listing from Morphy's a 10 gauge pinfire that was marked: “WALKER’S NEWBURY FROM PURDEY’S LONDON”. I optimistically thought there might be a connection.
Everytime I shoulder this gun I get more and more excited to use it. The bores are real nice and and it fits me very well. I just need to load up some shells and go...
