That is a diecent hammer gun with a great family story to go with it.
I looks to be a grade 2 gun, and the engraving is very nice for a grade 2. Not all guns of that grade had that much engraving.
There are a couple of things about the restoration work that is not 100% correct, the most glaring is the blued barrels. But, that can be corrected and the gun presents well as an overall package. Great screws too!
In the time this gun was new, the 10g would have still been more popular in competition bird (trap) shooting.
