I got to pick up a few shotguns and rifle out of my dads safe this weekend.
he gave me my great grandfathers double percussion shotgun to see if i can repair the stock. someone put the butt against a tree and let go both barrels and broke the wrist. i think its going to be a wall hanger because the barrels have started to come apart at the breech. i need to find a trigger guard or something. It was made by William Moore.
Some of the proof stamps from under the barrels
The forstock is also broke but it was from wear from it being layed across the saddle. they did a good job on that one.
the second is a Winchester 1890 22 short that was my mothers father. it also has a broken stock. im going to clean it up and replace a couple pieces.
One he kept is a St etienne double barrel pin fire breech loader,
i also got his Manton double barrel 10g percussion. i haven't looked at it to see if its an original one or an antique forgery. i havent gotten pics take of it yet
