these photos will only be of interest to a shotgun nut,but the engraving is a feature on this gun and i love the celtic touch on the sidelocks.considering this was done in 1867 and when mackay brown in the late 1990's introduced it on some of their guns, it drew rave comments.notice the top strap has been snapped and so has the trigger tang,leading me to suspect the gun was deliberately smashed by holding the barrels and swinging to break the stock, or it was run over.it is still a work in progress,next step-- fixing the broken metal.
