We've recently restored an English fowling piece from the period between 1751 and 1810, which includes a lock plate we haven't yet been able to identify. We recognize the "Warranted" markings, but we're looking for help in identifying the remnants of the engraving to pinpoint its origins more precisely.

If you can identify the maker or origin by showing us a similar example for verification, we'll reward you with a JCastaway shirt!

If you think you know who made it, please email smith (at) jcastaway.com
