Description:
The Hopkins & Allen 12-gauge single-shot shotgun is built on a falling block action and features a 28-inch barrel. Manufactured in 1897, this antique firearm reflects the design era of late 19th-century American shotguns. The receiver and barrel surfaces show a uniform brown patina consistent with age. The shotgun is configured with a smooth wood stock shaped in a Prince of Wales pistol grip style, paired with a matching forearm. The butt plate is carved with a squirrel motif, a distinctive decorative element found on some Hopkins & Allen models of the period.
The bore condition is described as fair to good, showing visible shine with marks present. The front bead sight is missing. The action is noted to be strong with a tight lockup, characteristic of the falling block mechanism. No serial number is present, which aligns with production practices for many Hopkins & Allen single-shot models from the 1890s. The overall appearance reflects typical aging of metal and wood surfaces without modern refinishing.
No accessories or additional components are listed with this shotgun. The firearm is configured as a takedown model, allowing barrel removal from the receiver for transport or maintenance. All details correspond to Hopkins & Allen’s late 19th-century single-shot design, identifiable by its falling block action, wood furniture, and engraved or carved embellishments. The piece represents an intact example of the company’s 12-gauge production from 1897.
