Andy Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Hello, I thought I'd start out here with this gun, one of a few my granddad had.I haven't been able to find out very much about the maker other than there are records that have him in London around 1799-1820.It may have been converted to percussion at some later date. I have also seen one book that has another maker, I don't remember the name, that had similar diamond check on the grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
