    Nice find. What are your plans for this old girl ?:)

    Nice piece! Glad to see it migrated to the Free New World very well.
    Reckon it is a no 2 of a matched pair BTW.
    One pic of the action and serial number has an off set nr "2" lying on its side.Usually donates a matched pair of guns. :)

    nothing looks as well as a nice browned damascus barrel, and they don't ring like steel does .

    Yeah I'll shoot it, I have low power black powder rounds.
    It'll handle those OK I'm sure.
    This is my third Irish made shotgun, I've got another earlier muzzle loader sxs by Kavanagh and a Trulock and Harris boxlock
