Thanks for all the golden info....

Yes its an 8ga, its a gunmark kestrel...........but im sure they were only sold in the UK.

Its 11lbs-not heavy, but not bad considering the barrels are just 32" rather than 36" etc.

Another I came upon is a 2 barrel set, single barrel Davenport.....with the usual 36" barrel AND a short extra thick 24" barrel. This latter barrel is a factory original....I can only guess it was a ball barrel. Its $3,500 odd........the double is a $1000 and I feel its more like what I want. a sort of do-it-all gun without a horrendous price.
