Older SxS shotgun
Twispriver:
@JDHasty seems to have a lot of knowledge about older guns and also knows where to look when he doesn't. Maybe he'll spot this and chime in.
Please post a pic or two of the whole gun
JDHasty:
Get some good photos of it up and I’ll reach out.
What I do know is that most of those old breach loading 12 gauge guns have 2 1/2 inch chambers. What I have been able to find suggests that he moved from England to Chicago and has strong connections to the Birmingham firearms trade and Webley & Scott in particular.
There is substantial crossover interest between single shot (falling block) enthusiasts and double guns. It wouldn’t surprise me if someone can’t give quite a bit of info on it or respond with a web address of a site that people knowledgeable in them frequent. It appears to me as though this concern imported and/or worked on Purdy, Wesley Richards and other “Best” quality guns. Photos of any markings are going to be helpful and photos of the action as well.

Got the gun broken down over the weekend and took pictures of all the marking I could find on it. Will reach out on a couple other forums as well.
