Does anyone know of a picture(s) that exits of Sir Samuel Baker’s 6 Bore Rifle Devil Stopper?

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

Yes but it also says he fired it 20 times over many years. Also seems he had a custom Holland and Holland that was more like a 3 bore.

I'd just start looking for photos of the man, bound to find something.
