Antique Belgium copy a the William Richards English shotgun. This shotgun was likely manufactured by Henri Pieper between 1884 and before 1893 based upon the proof mark. "E L G. oval without crown. Side by side double barrel shotgun, 12 gauge, with checkered walnut 'prince of Wales" pistol grip stock, hard rubber buttplate with dogs chasing boar scene, dolphin hammers, double triggers, 30" damascus barrels with rib, inscribed Laminated Steel. Locks marked "W Richards" The shotgun has the following issues, missing the front sight bead, the forward forearm has about a 4' chip out of it, the hammers are loose and do not stay cocked, the buttplate is dry and cracked and the left firing pin is missing. Bores are decent and the shoulder stock is sound. Basically a wall hanger.
