The action is nicely engraved with English scroll. The 28" Damascus barrels are the star of the show with perfect bores and are signed \'Hooton & Jones 60 *Dale Street Liverpool*\' (*indistinct). Nitro proofed for 2 1/2" cartridges and reproofed in 86. The 14 1/4in stock has probably been refinished and features a Prince of Wales semi-pistol grip, vacant white oval and a horn butt plate. **James Hooton (b.1843 in Sevenoaks, Kent) is recorded as being a schoolmaster in Liverpool . In 1885 he bought a share of the Jones family gun making business.
