Daryl-

This is the gun I speak of.

That little square peg you see works to assist opening!
You can see the top of the conical funnel-shape cuts on the action flats, they look exactly like the style of lightening cuts on the twelve bore gun above, but are closer together as this is a very slender little shotgun.

I don't have many photos of it up and ready to post, but take a little look-see here.

I thought you'd get a bit of a rise out of that one, especially since I know you're a muzzleloading blackpowder shooting kind of guy.

The chambers have no provision for rims.
There are ferrules under those barrels, they're made of damascus like the barrels and ribs are.

The inletting is amazing, the interior of the lockwork is mirror bright.

Also, these photos don't do any kind of justice to the wood, which is absolutely goregeous.

Anyone recognise anything there?
