James Lyon had worked for James Purdeys in London. I have seen guns advertised as Purdey and Lyon.

Thank you.
Those are Birmingham proof marks. It's a 12-bore gun. I see rifling in one barrel.

Could you please take the gun into sunlight and take clear pictures and post here?

Proof marks, inside the barrels, muzzle-end and breech-end and the barrels.
