Was it meant for ball or shot? Is either bore rifled?.... even just at the muzzle?

My birthday present arrived today
I have never heard of or saw a listing for a 22ga but that means exactly nothing. I will try and post some more pic's.

Hi Dean. It is just a shotgun made for shot only. It is to old to have any proof marks and has no rifleing.

Those barrels are a great example of some of the heavily etched barrels of that period.

If the bore is .650 and a 20 gauge shell won't fit in the chamber, it can't have what we would identify as a forcing cone.

You would be correct Bil. It dose not have a forcing cone. Its an odd arrangement an hard to describe. Its like a barrel without a chamber and only a rim cut with a very short taper aprox. 3/4in in front of it and then a straight transition to the barrel. If it had a regular chamber than a brass 20ga would slide right in.
