New to me Double 20 gauge.

[TreeMan]

Just purchased this at auction really cheap. I do not have it in my possession so these pics are the ones from the auction site. Seller states there are no visible markings. I’ll look under the barrel when I get it. Any way to fix the wood shrinkage around the locks? Soak in linseed oil or anything? Any ideas where and when this was made? I assume Belgian made but maybe US? 33 inch barrels.

Nice piece!
I doubt you'll be able to make much difference on the lock fit just make sure it is securely mounted

Congratulations on the new SxS!

Thanks! I’m anxious to get it and figure out it’s history. Hopefully it’s good to go for shooting.

Good for you! These old guns need a little TLC and some gentle use will be what they are meant for.

I really like that! My new to me Pedersoli 12 gauge SxS is clearly influenced by these original beauties.

Love it! What's not to like about a "dubbel burrel" muzzleloader?

The little 1/2 moon dig just above the lock on the right side by the hammer was caused by the mainspring when someone dropped the hammer with the barrels removed. Spring compressed the wood then someone broke the loose piece caused when it did.
