Description:
VERY SCARCE Swivel Double Barrel O/U Long Rifle
With Both a Rifled & Smooth Bore, Made Circa 1860
Here we present an antique Double Barrel Percussion Long Rifle with Swiveling Barrels, made circa 1860 in the United States. Compared to their single barrel brethren, these double barrel long rifles are quite scarce, as well as being diverse. Some have been made in the “Mule Ear” fashion, with two flat hammers mounted on the side of the gun, one for each barrel. This one has been made with one hammer, with the superposed barrels rotating at the breech end with the press of the rear trigger (which is not a set trigger) to present each respective percussion nipple and sights.
Each barrel has its own rifle type sights, though one of the bores is rifled and one is smooth. The smooth bore has the adjustable blade, while the rifled bore has the very fine, adjustable and hooded post and bead. The rear sight is an elevation adjustable, tubular peep sight. Each barrel is octagonal. The rifled bore is .36 caliber, while the smooth bore is .52, which is right about 28 gauge. The sides of the barrel are decorated with brass sleeves, which each contain a ramrod. The butt plate and trigger guard are of brass, with the guard also acting as a pistol grip.
The overall condition is near fine. The iron has an even, dark patina. The stock has a very tight, nice grain, which is overall smooth and glossy. The rifled bore is sharp and clean, and the other is smooth and clean as well. The action is strong. Here is a fantastic example of an extremely handy and versatile swivel barrel combination gun that are very scarce in any condition.
