Description:
This is a single shot percussion shotgun with a ridiculously long 64" bbl. Bore diameter is approximately a 10 ga. Overall length is just shy of 7 feet. The gun is very old and has a deep brown/black color to the lock and hammer. The long bbl also has an aged patina in a medium brown color. Some age shrinkage to the buttstock at the buttplate and especially at the long buttplate insert at the top of the gun. Fit is good around the lockplate and lower tang. Overall cond of the stock is VG cond with the exception of a crack from the lockplate going up the muzzle. It has been repaired and has a slight chip missing. Bore looks like it has not been cleaned in 100 years and could use a good cleaning. I'm sure there will be some pitting and roughness but it doesn't look too bad. Another oddity is that the buttstock has a very pronounced cast. If you want to decorate a long wall this gun would certainly get attention!
