Milton,

In those days the English really didn't manufacture "machine made guns" like we did here. All their guns could be called "handmade" for the most part.

The 3 inch chamber isn't any great rarity on a British gun of this era.

you could probably order any chamber length you wanted back then I imagine . I like the twist on it , my current gun doesn't have any pattern left on it . I will take some better resolution photos once I get her here .

The double gun forum wouldn't allow my request for membership because of me using a gmail account
