Lovely one, Herb. Either live pigeon or waterfowl. That's where I'd put it to use. Cheers.

That is a lovely looking gun,Herb.The 3" chambers suggest,to me, a fowling piece.
Got to shoot a Pape pigeon SXS gun that belongs to Grumpy.It was a cool gun to shoot.
Very good maker and a great gun in your hands.Thanks for sharing.
Best-
Vikram

Dear Herb
It is a water fowler for sure. It is in remarkably good condition for such an old piece. I also have a 3 inch chambered 12 gauge 32 inch barrels water fowler hammerless by Webley & Scott with a Greener type cross bolt. If you peep inside from breech end, then in all probability, you will find elongated forcing cones, a sure sign of a good water fowler gun. Mine is proof marked for one and half ounce shot load.Could you please check proofing of your gun and let me know.
Cheers
Regards
