I'm almost sure this shotgun has a damascus barrel but the seller doesn't say so. My search engines didn't turn up anything on L Hemenway other than to say guns by Levi Hemenway bore his full name, which this does not.

I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly

anyone would be proud to Own.[^]
And what is your concern, considering it's a black powder only muzzle loader?
It looks American to me, and may have been made by Levi Hemenway. Note the two federal eagle stamps above his name on the barrel.
It will probably go for more than my budget anyway.
The first fowler I got to handle made a believer out of me.
Lacking modern eyeglasses, I couldn't see well enough to get a lot of good out of a long rifle, a smoothbore with buck and or ball would have served me well. And a lot less to carry around.
Thanks totally missed that.
Sorry, what did I miss? " J " Hemenway
Photos clearly show "L" rather than the "J" in the title of the listing.
