ENGRAVED Antique FRENCH Back Action BERINGER Double Barrel 12 g SxS SHOTGUN
Mid-1800 12 Gauge Fowling Piece
Here we present an antique French Engraved Beatus Beringer Double Barrel 16 Gauge Side by Side Shotgun, made circa the mid-19th Century in Paris, France. Beatus Beringer of Paris and St. Etienne appears in records between 1835 and 1869. His Paris address was 26 Rue de la Monnaie. He exhibited at the Great Exhibition at Crystal Palace in 1851.
These locks were called “back action” because the mainspring hangs behind the tumbler. The back action is often used in double rifles and occasionally in single and double barrel shotguns where the need for strength requires as little steel as possible be removed from the bar of the action. This lock was popular on percussion guns made in St. Louis, New York, California, Ohio, England, France, and Belgium.
The overall condition is good. Original patina. Strong action. Bright, smooth bore. The stock is solid with a nice smooth finish. Nicely engraved locks. Visible markings are legible.
