Originally built for Captain Ellis Reeve of the Coldstream Guards in 1862 as the #2 gun of a pair of percussion guns and expertly converted to center fire sometime between 1875-1886 according to the proof marks on the barrels. My client has used this gun on game and clays with RST & similar low pressure shells.
