    Challenge Can you ID this smoothbore?

    Ok cool thanks. And do we have any idea around when these parts were made? And from what I can gather this isn't a very pricey gun. I should hang it on the wall as a decoration?

What do you guys think it's worth?? I've had a couple people contact me wishing to buy it. Is it something that holds a...

    Challenge Can you ID this smoothbore?

    So you're saying this gun was assembled in Belgium with different surplus parts from all over? From my understanding parts were not interchangeable back then.

    Challenge Can you ID this smoothbore?

    There are only 2 marks anywhere on it and they're both the same. I see a crown over V in both. I think I might have everyone stumped! :headslap:

    I was thinking exactly the same - blocks or letters - until someone pointed out the crown over V and I really felt like that's what it is. Do you know of any other proof mark, from anywhere, that used a symbol or symbols over a V?

    How did you come to Germanic or Prussian?? I'm 90% sure that's a London proof... check out the "crown over V" mark on this list: http://www.nramuseum.org/gun-info-research/proof-marks-from-the-blue-book.aspx

    I actually found that the proof is a London proof. a crown over "V" that was started in 1670. Not sure at all, though, when it was discontinued...

    I'm sorry but there is no way I can get a readable rubbing of the marks. Just won't come out right. I tried NUMEROUS times.... But I took some more pics maybe that will help.

    Challenge Can you ID this smoothbore?

    Hey guys. I posted in flintlock and it was suggested I post here as well. This gun has probably been shortened along its lifetime- barrel is only 24" long. Wood is probably walnut (fairly certain). Other than that I'm not too sure on info... Lock English? Someone suggested because of the cheek...
