Small sideways play.

Here is my other English shotgun. A fowler of course. Looks like a 10 gauge. It is a "Tirebuck" which was a father/son firm that worked in London between 1803 and 1806. This may be the only Tirebuck extant. It probably is. I have never shot this gun, but she sparks up a store. Has an advanced flintlock. Note the water proof pan and wheel on the spur on the frizzen. The barrel is eavenly pitted on the outside, but mirror smooth in the bore. I don't think I'll shoot it however. A gunsmith looked at it and said that there was a lot of steel in there, but still the gun is 200 years old. Still neat however. It had an ebony ram rod that had been broken in two, so I suspect it was a wall hanger in some pub somewhere.
