I must say Katana's uncle's Boswell is the first BOSWELL I have come across with a second bead.. The photo is unclear - how far back from the muzzle end bead is the second bead? It would have been specified probably by some one with Master Eye problems who semi aimed the gun. I shoot left eye shut as I have slight problems and my background was rifle shooting primarily.

Thanks for sharing Katana. That is a very nice gun, assuming its a pigeon gun.

Another picture of the top.

Doubt if its a pigeon gun as Boswell pigeon guns usually had side clips as per mine and those in his catalogue

The gun posted by Katana has side clips which made me think it is pigeon gun, or duck gun due to the engraving of waterfowl.
