Hey guys, I picked this gun up from a sale and I don't know much about it, I know it is signed W Moore & co. It is signed laminated steel for the barrel. I think it is a black powder shotgun, but I wasn't sure. I was posting to see if anyone could tell me anything about it like when it was made, more about it or what the value of it would be, etc. I can get more pictures for you if I need to. Any information helps. Thank you!

Laminated steel shotguns are best left with black powder cartridges.*
Also worth note is that the chamber length may be short like 2 5/8 or 2 1/3 and not like a modern shotgun with 2 3/4 and larger...

*Yes I know folks who have safely shot smokeless powder shells in these old guns....
It can be done...but I personally wouldn't do it.

What Andy said. I did a quick search and there is a fair amount of information on these guns. My opinion is that it's a cool wall hanger unless you really research what length of shells to use and what loads it would take.
