The firing pins are unlike most other pins. Long, partially flat, and hard to describe. They fit into the trap door. I have a 10 gauge , possibly unfired, made for a Mr. Coats who was the superintendent of the Allen works at the time. He has a long and interesting history in that time. It comes with a neat “leather pouch” with unfired Allen patent shells. Also a tin of Allen Patent primers. The 10 gauges had long barrels, while the 12 gauges, I have seen a dozen or two, have had 26” barrels. The 12 gauges also came with the leather pouch with Allen patent shells. I can furnish email pictures if someone has an interest.
