Joseph Bowerbank was a foundry owner and iron monger who added the "Son" to his business name in 1906 according to a list of Cumbrian iron works that l found. Though the gun looks older. It's just starting to get a tiny bit loose so with the price of lightweight 16 bore cartridges will probably be retired. Having said that; although the barrels are tatty on the outside and look like they've been painted at some time the bores are pretty good. Edited April 20, 2022 by comanche 2 Quote Link to post
