Description:
BELGIAN Antique TABATIERE Conversion 12 Ga Shotgun
French Musket Converted to Breech Loading Shotgun
Here we present an antique Tabatiere Breech-loading Shotgun. The origin of this shotgun is an interesting one. Originally, this was an 1857 French musket. Soon after they converted these muzzleloaders to breech-loaders, using the Snider system, so that they became known as the Model 1867. By the end of the Franco-Prussian War, the French decided that the converted muskets were unacceptable and once again updated their arsenals. Being that there was no lucrative market for these surplus guns as they were, a Belgian gunmaker had the idea to convert these (for a second time) into shotguns.
The overall condition is good. The metal surfaces are dark brown. Stock is solid and smooth aside from a secured crack on the fore end. The bore is smooth. The action is strong. Here is a neat old shotgun with a lot of history!
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 31-3/8 inches.
Caliber: 12 Gauge
