Hi,
Picked up a couple of these recently and really quite taken with them. Would really appreciate any and all info that you might have re these pieces, apart from what I've read on the Forum the net seems rather reticent about these guns. The barrel bands are of low grade silver apart from one which is brass, this one needs repaired hence the green string to keep it in place. There is, as you can see, a disc nailed on the butt with the initials B.W.G. and the number 12, any ideas? Many thanks in advance for any and all replies.
Regards,
Norman.

P.S. Will post the other one asap.
