16 gauge octagon to round
« on: February 11, 2024, 01:23:51 AM »
It looks to me it was once a full stock and cut down both barrel and stock. It has a few marks on the barrel, on top an oval with an E on top, L and G below and a small star on bottom. On the underside it has, 16.4, NG and NOF. The lock has only LL marked on the inside of the plate. Most everything else is evident in the pictures I think. Can anyone date this gun and identify its maker? Thanks.

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'?
