English made flintlock single barrel shotgun, probably vintage about 1770 to 1790's, cannot find a makers name but a good set of proofs on top of the 42” barrel and the remnants of the word LONDON. 16 bore (.668") the muzzle end is still round and there are no major dents apparent. The sporting size lock is missing many parts but the original frizzen is there along with its spring and it works.
