The bulldog is a typical Royal Ulster Constabulary shape.  Proof marks on the cylinder tend to date it to post 1900.  The bore is poor, side gate functions with some lag in the pawl.

​

This gun has a lot of sentimental value.  After the death and a friend, his son searching for "treasures" dug it up in the chook pen.  Where else would you hide a gun. The gun was in very bad condition. After over 2 weeks in a rust removal, hours with a wire brush it was cleaned up and sent to a gunsmith.  He spent a few more hours on it removing the remains of nickle plating before it was re-blued.

We  call this gun the "JimJo"
