BREECH LOADING PERCUSSION SHOTGUN.

BREECH LOADING PERCUSSION SHOTGUN. NSN. 16 ga. 28-1/2” Damascus bbls. The bbls apparently were cut down from an earlier usage as only half of the marking inlaid on the top of the rib remains. The meaning of “Cal. 6” is unknown. The action is much like the Dreyse breechloader in that the bbl cammed forward and then raised by gravity. CONDITION: Gray to blue/gray patina overall with light pitting. Wood has numerous dents and scratches but retains much of the orig varnish. Horn trigger guard is chipped and cracked but still fairly solid. Mechanically good. From the collection of the late Bruce McDowell. 4-54608 X31 (500-800)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2005

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
