Hey guys one of my buddies made a heck of a buy on an old percussion shotgun and we're lookin for any sorces of info. It's a Robinson , 12 ga, half octagon. Underbarrel is stamped HD and a couple of stamps that appear to be crossed sabers with a crown. Any collector book titles or websites would get us started. Thanks much olredhead

the markings would most likely be viewers marks and proof marks . it would depend on what shape and style of crowns they are .
IMO the best SXS info can be found here
