maybe not determine what you want,, almost sure someone here will grab it up,,

It's been established the owner won't alter it. Continuing to bring that aspect up isn't helpful and will be deleted.

Well the proofs are Birmingham post 1814 probably just an export gun but you didn't pay too much & Ime pleased you saw sense in not ruining it . Worth more as is , if cut its scrap.. The fact its 'drum & nippled ' no guns made in England as percussion did that . So suggests it was originally flint later put to cap in the US or UK . The name as its assessed is likley just a Boston retailer or might be the real original Boston in Lincolnshire .Fairly flat water fowl country . Could be just the sort some rustic Gentleman might seek for said Waterfowl . All my guess, it can't talk but we can read them sometimes . Just looked up Barnes of Boston Lincs no such listed .

OK fellows, it will not get chopped. I will decide what to do with it in a couple of weeks

Great news!! I saw this post first thing this morning and just wasn’t sure how to respond! Glad others chimed in!

If I can figure out what is worth, I would probably sell. I have about 250. In it. As usual, I probably paid too much!

If you decide send me a way to contact you

Depends where you live, this gun would be expensive to ship.
I am in Vermont

Please don't cut it. Hang it over your fireplace or sell it and get what you really want. Short guns are not that hard to come by.

I relieved Bob of this gun to make sure it stays intact.
