Description:
You are witnessing a SUPER "RARE"---YES- R-A-R-E Gastinne- Renette made Pinfire.that was converted by Gastinne-Renette at a later date from Original Commissioned 1857  date by the Emporer Napoleon..to a Centerfire cartridge.  All is denoted on the top middle rib of this magnificent & RARE specimen. The "relief engraving is very difficult and very unusual to perform along with the verified 24K Gold embellishment. Obviously, THIS 16ga. Double was simply NOT a 'sporting gun" for the public;s pleasure..BUT..was a 'commisioned  specimen that the Emporer had (his) "armorer perform as a "presentation piece" to some one of Royalty or perhaps of Military significance. The gun/fusil was obviously well cared for & obviously seldom used in the field. The Original finish remains as shown on Metal & Wood.. I am simply unable to set a price to list this National Treasure of France...and will  entertain offers that will determine a "possible " sale. International offers  will be considered and ALL customs /Shipping expenses are the responsibility of the BUYER. Buyers within USA need NO FFL or other papers to ship or Own. //NOTE: The leather Trunk case is NOT the original but reconfigured for this shotgun.
