thank you for the complement, my lady fell in love with it (one of her late Christmas/New Years presents.) this smooth bore definitely has my curiosity for sure. Looking forward to more people chiming in about it. The old man assured me it has been handed down from father to son ever since it...

Built in 1776 Damascus barrel 16 gauge smooth bore custom flintlock Trying to figure out what it’s worth at the moment

Just took the barrel out of the stock and someone must have cared a lot about this smoothbore because there was...

appreciate the concern. And I will definitely look into it a lot more. Think I should have a gun smith look it over before shooting it?
