The four foot long, Birmingham proofed barrel has a bead front sight, burst engraving at the breech, and fine, well-executed scroll engraving visible on top of the breech plug. The furniture also has scroll engraving. The back action lock has engraved birds and foliage and is signed "HAST" (Philip Hast, Colcester, England). The stock has a horn forend tip, checkered wrist, and a 14 1/2 inch length of pull. This massive shotgun was most likely made for market hunting wildfowl.

Good with mostly gray and dark brown patina overall, some patches of case colors on the lock, mild oxidation and pitting, generally distinct Damascus twist patterns and engraving, and mild overall wear. The stock has a somewhat loose forend cap, mild wear on the checkering, and some general marks, scratches, and dings. Mechanically fine. Definitely a massive gun that will garner some attention.
