Description:
SOLD Scarce as these are I find at least one a year, as they were usually shipped from Europe to India or other parts of Asia to hunt Tigers. Natives would beat metal pans to drive the Tiger toward a Maharaja sitting on a elephant , as the Tiger jumped up to get over the elephant it would be dispatched with both barrels, of 8" smooth bore of about .630 cal. or gauge. The Barrels are evidently damascus and are very strong, and the matched hammers work well, with strong main springs. The French/European walnut stock is very good and the locks, hammer and trigger guard are chisel engraved, witha brass butt-capes with a steel ram-rod, and the stock hs some age staining and a few field handling dings.. The trigger guard is German silver also.When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith before shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost. We don’t have a web site .I prefer money orders or a check. Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of older guns If you attempt to buy, you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed. Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only. I’m easy to get along with. Thank You[JB1]
