Description:
8 Gauge Percussion  Fowler - British Made BY William Smith - Engraved
This gorgeous piece is finely engraved in early English style.  Engraved is the butt plate, Steel pistol grip cap,  barrel tang, trigger guard, hammer, lock surface, barrel breech and most screw heads .  W. SMITH is engraved in the lock plate.   The 8 gauge barrel is tapered with flats sides at the breech, and a 12 inch long rib to 34 inch round barrel.   Looks good for its 100+ years of service.  No disturbing pits are visible.  Overall length 52-1/4 inches.  There are 2 British proofs on the bottom of the barrel with a 7 between them.  I believe one proof to be the British definitive black powder proof.  The other could be the British inspection proof.  Stocked in English walnut.   I am not an expert.  Questions?  Ask!  3 day NON-firing inspection period.  Shipping and insurance costs are yours ($80.00) to the lower 47.  Alaska, Hawaii, and California double the shipping cost.  I will expect a US Postal Money Order or cashiers check for payment.   Being antique, I will not need an FFL to ship to.
 WANTED old odd Auto Pistols, I am currently looking for a Beretta Model 80 in .22 short,  a Webley M1911 single shot .22LR, and a Mateba .44 Magnum semi-auto revolver.  I also need 9 rounds of 7mm Baby Nambu ammunition.   Let me know what you are looking for, maybe I can help.  It is time to start thinning out a 56 year old auto pistol collection.
