Description:
Antique DOUBLE BARREL FLINTLOCK Shotgun
Lightly Engraved 200 Year Old Shotgun!
Here we present an antique Flintlock Double Barrel Shotgun, made circa late 1700s to early 1800s. This would have been made a great tool for harvesting game as well as protection. Prior to the advent of repeating firearms, many makers and users of firearms desired the ability to fire multiple times prior to reloading. Though most would content themselves with a single single-shot firearm, others would carry multiple firearms, especially pistols when used for protection. Others, however, would adopt weapons with multiple barrels. Captain James Cook was one of those who would adopt a typically sporting weapon for his own protection. According to the Journal of Captain Cook’s Last Voyage published in 1785, "A ruffian making a stroke at Captain Cook, was shot dead by the Captain himself, who having a double-barreled gun, was aiming at another,..." when he was struck to the ground and stabbed.”
The overall condition is very good. The barrels have a plum colored finish. There are no visible markings, even under the barrels. The stock is in good shape with a stable crack running through the center of the butt stock from side to side. The bores are smooth and clean. The actions are both strong.
