William Moore & Grey Hammer Gun
This video provides a detailed aesthetic and historical overview of a William Moore & Gray underlever, non-rotary, hammer shotgun. The presenter discusses the history of the William Moore & Gray company, founded in 1808 and later partnered with William Gray in 1847. The shotgun is identified as a 12-gauge, likely originally a pinfire action, featuring external hammers and internal pins. While praised for its exquisite craftsmanship, including French walnut stock and scroll engraving, the barrels are noted to be pitted beyond saving, placing the firearm in a 'scrap pile' despite its beauty.
