G'day John and others.

The cape gun I have just bought is an old sxs under lever hammer gun, Engraved with "Tipping and Lowden London". Both barrels are 16 bore, with left rifled and the right smooth bored. I will have to ask some advise here, I was under the impression that a cape gun always had two barrels of the same bore, with one rifled and one smooth and if one barrel was a different calibre/bore it was then a combination. If I am wrong could someone explain the difference between the cape and the combo please.

All the best, Ian.
