Freakin' amazing. It may be a Powell, but none of the rest of the ad is truthful. It sure ain't no Nitro. Nice pits.

It may be a Powell, but what would a pic of the barrel flats show: English(I know) or Belgian proofs? It just doesn't have the quality look of a William Powell.

They'd be British. It's an old Powell.

Yes, indeed it would have Birmingham proofs. But given the quality of the pic and the assumed value associated with it, it to be a Beglain knock-off.

You see the occasional Belgian shotgun with "British" names on them, but not double rifles. The chances of it being Belgian are quite remote.
