Is it the light or is the rib made of wood? Maybe brass?

These are some of the finest rifles Pedersoli ever made. A fine gentleman named Cecil Brooks is supposed to have had a hand in the design of the rifle. I have the lock from one of these rifles and it is well made and finished. The guns I've handled were all drum and nipple percussion guns and didn't have a powder chamber on the breech plug. With the drum removed you would be looking in at the breech face. The name on the rifle is no doubt the name of a previous owner.

How much is it worth. They guys at the shop did not seem to know alot about it.

Very nice indeed.

So that's a smoothbore?

I wonder if you could contact the company and buy a separate rifled barrel for it, just to have? :hmm:

UK law mate. I don't have a firearm permit, only a shotgun permit, so I can't have rifled barrel.
Please don't get me started on our cack-a-mamee Gun laws!

Sorry Duke, meant no offence.
