Transport yourself to the dawn of the 19th century with this Burnie Flintlock Double Barrel Shotgun in 25 Gauge, crafted circa 1800 by Burnie (likely a Scottish gunmaker), with poinçons marked "D. Charters Berwick" indicating Berwick-upon-Tweed provenance. These early flintlock fowling pieces, featuring waterproof pans and roller locks for reliable ignition, were prized for waterfowl or upland hunting during the Napoleonic era. This NO4473 antique, with gold banded breech and touchmarks, is a collector's delight for enthusiasts of pre-percussion arms.

This example is in very fine condition as period repaired, with the right cock replaced to preserve functionality, and metal surfaces exhibiting authentic patina. The smoothbore barrels, suited for black powder loads, offer close-range performance (10–30 yards) for waterfowl or partridge. The waterproof pans and roller locks ensure consistent firing in damp conditions, a key innovation of the era. The walnut stock shows moderate wear but remains structurally sound, with the gold banded breech and touchmarks adding historical flair.  The flintlock actions are mechanically fine, with tight lockup reflecting early 19th-century craftsmanship.
