Tell me as much as you can about your gun – all names & markings on it, length of bbls, condition outside the gun and inside the barrels, etc. Also, send me as many pictures as you can.

    Hello Greg,
    I am working on identifing a black powder hammer shotgun that was purchased by my family in 1966. It has a Boar’s head carving on the belly of the stock wtih a floral motiff on the side, damascus barrels. It maybe French. I have seen 2 other similar gun on the net for 3 to 4k? I know the family didn’t pay nearly that much.
    I also have a Parker SXS 12 that my father had as a kid and the action is locedk up. I receveived it pretty much in pieces and would like to make it usable again.
    I live in southern NH

    Hi Gregg,
    I have found an interesting old side by side in reasonable nick with relatively plain black sidelock action with extractors and heavy 30″ barrels. It looks and has the feel of a very good quality SXS but it is a mystery as to what it is and its age. It handles beautifully. It was made by Fabbrica Nazionale Armi in Brescia Italy. It needs some tender loving care but it seems to be in good working order, superb trigger pulls, and with the addition of a decent pad and a really good clean…and possibly a re-blue of the barrels it could turn out well. No photo’s until I see it again next week. Any thoughts?
    Cheers from Australia….Paul

    Sorry for the tardy response. Did you get any pics of the gun?
    If you send them to me, I’ll give you a better sense of the gun’s value.

    Thanks

    I’d say $3000 – $4000 if it’s all original. Nice, solid guns…

    Dave-

    Do you have any pics of your gun?

    Vintage shotguns are all about original condition. To judge the finish on your gun, I would have to see it. The more pics I see, the more I can tell you.

    There was a Smith & Son trading in London up until about 1870 or so. They disappeared after that.

    Clive-

    Thanks for you note. Do you have any pics of our gun? I think Poli is still around in Italy and I know they’ve made a wide range of guns, from some basic models to some fancy ones. Pics would help me figure out which one you have.

    Thanks

    In the last 182 years, W.W. Greener has made thousands of double barrel shotguns. May of these shotguns have made there way into the US. The ones you usually are boxlocks like this FH 70, this 12 gauge Empire. Sidelocks like this are less common, but you do see them (that one was converted to a straight grip,  btw).

    W. W. Greener Hammer Double Barrel Shotgun
    The Greeners you rarely see are higher-grade, side-by-side hammerguns. Greener made lots of them, but they rarely show up – in the States or in the UK.

    What is this wort

    Missy-

    Thanks for your post. I’m happy to help you out.

    To help, I’ll need to know a bit more about your shotgun. Does it say anything other than Richard on it – maybe on the bbls?

    Do you have any pics? If you do, please send them to me at gregg@dogsanddoubles.com.

    I’ll take a look and tell you what I can.

    Gregg
