HENRI PIEPER Double Barrel C&R Belgian Made Side by Side HAMMER CAPE GUN
Nice Turn of the Century RIFLE/SHOTGUN!
Here we present a Henri Pieper Double Barrel Side by Side Cape Gun, made circa the turn of the 20th Century in Belgium. Henri Pieper was a German born gunmaker in Belgium. He began in Liege in 1866 under the business name “Anciens Etablissements Pieper”. The rapid growth of his early business was party due to an excellent decision to purchase a barrel factory in Nessonvaux. Some of Remington’s finest double shotguns of the time have the maker’s mark of “HP” on them from this factory.
These were typically high-end hunting weapons that featured a side by side configuration with one barrel rifled and the other smooth. The hunter would use the rifled barrel to fire long range, precise shots against large game and use the smooth could be loaded with a large ball or slug for a quick follow up shot, especially on large and dangerous game, or the smooth bore could be loaded with shot to make it feasible to hunt fowl at the same time without carrying multiple guns. The gun has two triggers to allow either barrel as needed.
Cape guns made in Germany, Belgium, and Austria usually have the rifled barrel on the right side (as is this one), while British made cape guns are usually reversed. These were supremely handy firearms that could also be used to defend the homestead or put game on the table.
This one has a 12 gauge smooth bore and the rifled barrels muzzle measures .380”. The chamber diameter is .4185”.
The overall condition is good+. Gray patina throughout. The actions are strong. The bores are in good condition, reflective of light with smooth surfaces in the smooth bore and good rifling in the rifled bore. The stock is solid. Numbers match. A nice example of a versatile combination gun from Belgium!
