I have just got a old percussion shotgun off the net. Was only £70 as it is in rough shape, I am just going to have it on the wall so it does not bother me. Looks like a nice antique. I know there were two British gunsmiths with the name W Singer (Both William) one in Cardiff and the other in Warminster.

I have taken the barrels off to have a look for a proof mark to help date it. Though the barrels are heavily pitted I did find, what I think, are the remnants of a proof mark. Though I cant quite make it out nor see any other marks (Damn my poor eyesight).

If anyone on here has any idea it would be much appreciated. Here is an image of the proof mark.
