Flintlock London Shotgun

John Rathbun
I have an old flintlock 20 guage single barrel shotgun that I would like to learn more about. I am interested in learning about the gunmaker. The marks on the receiver state "JHT & S" and on top of the breach is stamped "London". Off to one side of the breach are three stamps. One is in the middle and it is the number "25" the other two stamps look like crossed pikes over a shield. These are all within an area of a two inches.

The barrel is Damascus steel and the lock looks like it has seen little wear.

Does anyone know of this gunmaker?

Curious,

JDR

    Flint or percussion? Then you mention breech... I assume a muzzlestuffer with a breech plug. For this one a picture is necessary I'd think.

    The gun is a flintlock and is a muzzleloader.
