What a wonderful configuration -- hammers, 20 ga. AND 30 " barrels! I assume Damascus? Got any pictures?

Have you seen Hadoke's new book, Hammer Guns in Theory and Practice? A great source of information (and opinion...he really dings Parkers, of course). Worth reading if you've got an English hammer gun.

That's a beaut!! Thanks for the pictures. I really like back action hammer guns -- the original round action. The top of the frame is unique, a style I've not seen before. The really neat thing about many English guns by obscure makers is the quality of work that is frequently found.

Again, neat gun...thanks for taking your time to share those pictures.
