George and John Deane were successful London gunmakers 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.

Good with silver gray-patina on the locks, mix of silver-gray patina and darker patches of oxidation and scattered patches of deep pitting visible on the barrels and bayonet as well as the buttplate, and an attractive refinished stock with crisp checkering and mild wear mainly at the butt. Mechanically fine.
