Description:
Very Attractive Double Barrel Shotgun Circa 1860s
This is a antique Belgian Side by Side Percussion Shotgun by Francois Schepers, made in Liege, Belgium circa the 1860s. This very attractive hunting shotgun features 27 inch side by side laminated steel barrels with a still very distinct twist pattern as well as locks, trigger guard, barrel tang, ramrod pipe, and butt plate that are very handsomely engraved with delicate floral scroll The bottom of the barrels are littered with assembly marks and Belgian proof marks. However, there are three defects on the stock. The maker’s mark “F. SCHEPERS A LIEGE”. This was and still remains a very nice gun for fowl.
The overall condition is very good. The barrels retain their distinct fine twist pattern. The other hardware has a light patina. The markings and engravings are clear. The walnut stock is in good condition with a few handling marks. The bores are in very good condition, smooth with no pitting. Both actions are excellent, crisp and strong. Here is a beauty from mid-19th Century Belgium!
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
