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.

Very good with 85% plus of the nicely restored brown finish and distinct Damascus patterns on the barrels, silver gray-patina on the heavily buffed and faintly marked locks, mix of silver-gray patina and darker patches of oxidation and scattered patches of deep pitting on the bayonet and buttplate, and an attractive refinished stock with crisp checkering, some crazing, and mild wear mainly at the butt. Mechanically excellent.
