The exposed hammers function as they should. This is from 1883 to 1894. Condition, totally functional. Barrels cut to about 10 inches.
It has a tight lockup and was likely cut down to keep it hidden. The original maker is W Richards.
Yes, it is legal to own!  It has been totally disabled as a cartridge shotgun, and is now usable only a MUZZLE LOADING CONVERSION.
