Need help identifying percussion double barrel shotgun

[eastwood86]

Hi all, so I got this for $20 a few years ago, missing the locks. I finally got around to checking it out closer and found the barrel stamps underneath. Based on some cursory research, it looks like it is English made, stamped with the Birmingham mark, and is 15 gauge? I can't really tell the size of the marks enough to figure out the date range, though. Any info on the make or model of this? Would it be possible to find a correct lock(s) to fit it?

A sxs percussion gun with Birmingham proof marks in 15 bore but it would be better classed has a 14 of about 1840-50 , has the top barrel rib any name then I may be able to find more information .

There are locks available for English SxSs, it also appears the triggers are missing. The cost of those items would run you about 500 bucks not including whatever else it might be needed to be made into shooting condition.

If Andy is close on the cost of parts, they will be worth more than the gun in shooting condition. This appears to have been one of many many market grade guns turned out during this period for export as well as the local trade.

Correct, from the look of the gun it wasn't a top-shelf gun when produced. It doesn't have some of the refinements that the upper-class guns would have had, like this.

one.

Thanks everyone. I may just go my original route and make locks and triggers out of wood and "antique" them. I bought it as a wall-hanger in the first place, but happy to learn more about it!
