George and John Deane were successful London gunmakers and are well-known as the original manufacturers of the Adams revolvers in 1851. This shotgun would have made an excellent coach gun. It has a folding "snap" bayonet on top like those popular on earlier blunderbusses, scroll engraving, "G. & J. DEANE" marked on the locks, faint barrel address, and a checkered stock with nicely figured wood.
