LONDON REAL ENTERPRISE GUN WORKS

The Locks are each Retailer marked under the breech:

JAMES BOWN & SONS
PITTSBURG, PA.

Once a fine partially engraved Trade Gun produced for the emerging American Market, this has seen better days. Ridden hard and put away wet as the saying goes, this old girl has lived in the back shed for quite some time and shows it. Rust pitted overall and only cleaned to read the lock and barrel markings. The wood is sound and retains its original checkering around the wrist quite well. Metal work pitted overall but still having a Western Appeal. Fully Authentic and original.

Offered AS IS and ready to display over the Fire Place as might be expected.
