Yeah I'm sure it's unloaded. I've had a rod down it, and it's also clear in the part the hammer hits.
It came to me from someone who had spent a decent amount of time in the British Army and spent a long time around antiques, although evidently he never told me what he knew about it unfortunatly.
I'm also pretty sure it falls under the antique gun laws but yeah thats a good idea, I will get it checked. Funny isn't it, I've got two 12 gauge shotguns but this old thing might be illegal for me to own
Tell me about it. I currently own 9 Section 1 firearms at the moment (used to have even more) and yet I can't even handle my Dad's Brocock air pistol - which is Section 5 to everyone but him the historic owner and will be taken away and destroyed after his death. According to the Home Office and Police it can be converted into a real firearm, but then Iv'e ALREADY been approved for real firearms, so that makes about zero sense
But yeah, anyway, I can't imagine it isn't an antique, the only danger would be if it was a modern live firing repo. If you've already got a Section 2 for your shotguns then go a bit further and get a Sec 1 so you can fire it
Edit: My bad, I assumed rifle. Obviously not applicable for a shotgun, doh.
