Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The William Moore & Co. (W. Moore & Co.) "London Fine Twist" shotgun represents a distinctive example of late 19th or early 20th-century British firearm craftsmanship. Characterized by its percussion side-by-side action, this shotgun reflects a bygone era of shotgun design, where attention to detail and artisanal skill were paramount. The absence of a serial number suggests that it may predate serial number regulations or was made during a time when such practices were not yet standardized. Chambered in an unspecified caliber, the shotgun features a 33-inch barrel with a blue finish, which would have been designed to withstand the rigors of shooting while maintaining aesthetic appeal. The "London Fine Twist" designation on the barrel rib indicates the use of a distinctive barrel-making process known for producing strong and reliable barrels through the twisting of fine steel. This method was commonly used to enhance both the structural integrity and appearance of the barrels. The bead front sight aids in accuracy, while the checkered walnut one-piece straight grip stock, despite some visible damage as noted in the pictures, exemplifies the traditional craftsmanship and ergonomic design favored by shooters of the time. The receiver is marked with "W. Moore & Co." on both sides, underscoring the manufacturer's identity and craftsmanship. This shotgun not only serves as a piece of historical firearm engineering but also as a valuable artifact reflecting the quality and style of its era.
