The gun has Birmingham proofs with reproof prior to 1954. Originally proofed at 13 bore, chambered for standard 12-bore cartridge. Left barrel had choke.
It has been refinished, but not badly. Actually nice. If barrel walls are over .020 min., and price is reasonable, it's a nice gun from what I can see...
Blanch was a good maker, but most of his stuff came to London from Birmingham. Not that's a bad thing.
