Barrel Marks ID?
« on: February 28, 2016, 06:31:28 PM »
Attached are a couple of photos showing proofs and markings on the underside of an English fowler. The Lewis & Tomes marked lock appears to have been converted to percussion.  The photo showing the barrel proofs have a tombstone mark between two Birmingham proofs.  The photo of the underside of the barrel looks to be stamped "I W" and what appears to be "I & S T".  Is anyone familiar with these marks?  Thanks.
