Description:
HUGE AND MASSIVE 8 GAUGE PERCUSSION DOUBLE BARREL MARKET GUN! 40" BARRELS, WEIGHS 14 POUNDS! both engraved lock plates are marked "GILLESPIE" who was a New York derringer pistol and gun lock maker from the late 1840s to about 1870, Twist Steel marked barrel rib, fancy walnut butt stock is checkered at the wrist and forend and is solid showing wear and handling but no abuse, double keyed forend, all iron parts- trigger guard, butt plate etc. scroll engraved and uncleaned to an attractive brown patina, uncleaned brown barrels show twist pattern, left hammer an old plain replacement that matches well, silver initial shield on bottom of stock, market hunting became outlawed and by the very early 1900s came to an end (fortunately). This is a great relic of a past time in the history of the U.S. before game laws and conservation laws were mandated to protect wildlife. Most big Market Guns like this show heavy use and abuse and usually have broken stocks etc. This is one of the better ones I've offered, (shows in photos with a Remington 1889 12 ga. hammer double with 30" barrels for comparison) .
