J Forrest Percussion shotgun
My Grandfather has this old Percussion shotgun on his stairway wall. Its been there for as long as I can remember (Together with another shotgun and a 1856 tower rifle).
I can see that it is signed J Forrest on the side (The engravings are very faded). I know there was a J Forrest in Oxford and also a Forrest family of gunsmiths in Kelso Scotland (But from what I have seen, most of their guns have "& sons" engraved on them, which makes me inclined to believe that this gun is from the oxford maker)
Apart from that I know nothing about it, neither does my Grandfather! I dont even know what caliber/bore it is....
Anyone have an knowledge on old 1800s(?) English shotguns? Would appreciate any input. Here is a link to some images on Imgur:
