Lots of info available on Hilliard and his underhammer guns, but I've never seen any over/under guns by him in my 50+ years of collecting North American percussion over/unders. As I live in NH ,I'd sure love to see photos of your gun.

I've handled 100's of Hilliard guns, never saw an over/under either. Love to see it.
