Description:
A delightful, Sawed Off percussion  Shotgun with 17 inch barrels.  It has an overall length of 34 inches.  The ramrod is longer than the barrels, (easier to get a hold of) .  The wood has virtually all its original finish. It has a crack from the ramrod entry thimble to the barrel key, but it does not effect stability at all. Otherwise no significant  chips and only minor dings.  The locks, both left and right, function crisply.  The gun has an even, pleasant, brown patina, which is smooth and uncleaned.  The locks, hammers, trigger guard, butt plate, tang, etc. have a nice light engraving.  The gun dates from the late 1850's to 1860 period.  It is marked W.M. Chance on the lock plates and the top of the barrels is marked " London Fine Twist". It is of good sound solid quality.  On the left side of the stock it has the letters "W R M F  Jr" If you ever wanted an attractive, sawed off percussion shotgun to compliment your display, this is it.  I don't have a clue as to the history of the gun.  Could it be Confederate? Sure, or maybe an express agents gun or it might be a canoe gun,  It sure is interesting.
