Description:
Zape 16 gauge hammer shotgun that appears to have been finished in Germany and produced in the white in Belgium as evidence by the Belgium Proof Marks. Action design is Lefaucheux (underlever), which is the original breech loading shotgun design in 1835. This gun has 29 1/2" twist steel barrels that are in good condition. The internal bore has crazing in some spots and a few shallow pits - overall very bright. Both bores measure .676 with cylinder chokes. Externally the twist exhibits good pattern and original brown finish. Chambers are 2 1/2" as original. Ribs are tight and barrels ring nicely. Back action locks are in good condition and fully functional. Left hammer appears to have a repair to the ear and a course metal checkering job that does not match the right hammer. Hammers are non rebounding. Gun is very tight on face. The stock is well figured with a Bavarian Cheek Piece and has the original flat top checkering. A coat of varnish has been added as is typical with these old guns. Steel buttplate with "widows peak". No cracks to the stock. LOP is 13 1/2". Drop at comb - 1 3/8". Drop at Heel - 2 1/2". Weight of the gun is 6 LBS 8 3/4 OZ. I have some 2 1/2" 16 gauge low pressure cartridges for sale. Shipping is $50 and can sent directly, as local law allows.
