What are the condition of the bores. If it is not to pitted it should be safe with black powder loads but it is good practice to have a gunsmith who is familiar with twist/Damascus barrels to inspect the barrels. It is always a good idea to have the minimum wall thickness of the barrels measured. At that point is you have plenty of thickness on the barrels you may decide to shoot low pressure smokeless loads as well.

There is pitting throughout both barrels, I took it to my gunsmith to have him look everything over. I just wanted the opinion of this community because you all have a passion for these historic shotguns thanks I appreciate your input.
