William Moore & Grey was established in London, England in 1825. Double brass bead sights on the smooth solid concave rib marked "WILLIAM MOORE & GREY. 43. OLD BOND STREET. LONDON." near the breech. The locks, hammers, frame, break lever, trigger guard and forearm hardware are lightly engraved with a floral scroll design. Each lock is marked "WM MOORE & GREY". The matching serial number is marked on the lower tang, both sides of the water table, on the underside of each barrel and on the inside of the forearm hardware. The underside of the barrels is also marked with various British proof marks and there are two "crown/V" proof marks on the water table. Brown Damascus pattern barrels that have been converted to a screw-in choke system, 3 inch chambers and an extractor. The remaining metal surfaces are casehardened. Mounted with a checkered splinter walnut forearm and pistol grip stock with a horn grip cap, checkered horn buttplate and a silver initial oval. Length of pull is 14 1/4 inches. Comes in a leather and oak case with "R.T. WILSON" embossed on the lid, green felt lining with a William Moore & Grey label affixed to the inside of the lid, brass corner protectors, and leather straps and handle. In the case are 7 extra choke tubes (two are installed) and a choke wrench.

Very good as altered (see above). The rebrowned barrels retain most of the brown finish with almost all of Damascus pattern remains on the barrels and is thin on the rib. The locks show 40% original case colors with a smooth gray/silver gray patina on the remaining metal parts. The wood is also very good with some scattered dents, dings and scratches. The checkering is crisp. The markings and engraving are clear. Mechanically very good. The case is good. The straps and handle are newer replacements. The exterior has numerous dings, scuffs, scratches and stains. The lining shows some discoloration and contact wear.
