    I have a few photos, though they are bad quality due to lack of light. Ill upload one of it on the wall along with two old shotguns my grandfather has on his wall.


    Here are the images, again the lighting was bad sorry. The bottom is the gun in question and there other two are a muzzle loading shotgun and another shotgun (I have no idea of the make of either, if anyone recognizes one, please shout out)

    A friend of mine collects s58 Enfields and has eight in rifled and smooth bore, including two of the sergeant issue with the shorter barrels. I have one of his Indian issued tower Enfields on my sgc as a shooter so I’ll takes some pics of the proof marks tomorrow for you to compare.

    What a pity he doesn't shoot them. They are great fun, smelly and noisy. What more could a Victorian era BP shooter desire?
