    Default Help identifying percussion shotgun?

    Good morning, I have an old percussion shotgun and I can't find any markings at all. Any help is appreciated. Here are some photos. Barrels are 33"

    Cool looking gun. No idea about what kind it is, but I wouldn't try to use it with all that rust pitting.

    If you have Facebook - post your pictures on Black powder guns and accessories for sale asking for some help in ID'ng and value and you will get an answer(s) and probably some offers!

    Thank you for this tip. The guys on that forum were very helpful and instructed me on how to remove the barrels to check underneath for makers marks. I'll post my findings here as well should it help anyone else.

    If you are talking about the Facebook Group - you have to "join" in order to take advantage of all the stuff posted (and help). If you are talking about the link IrocGuns provided - it loads just fine on my end.
