A massive and impressive mid-19th century London fowling piece by the respected gunmaking firm of Rock & Co., known for supplying high-quality sporting arms to the British gentry. Built for the serious wildfowler, this 10-gauge Damascus masterpiece was designed to throw heavy loads of shot at distant high-flying geese and ducks over the marshes and estuaries of Victorian England.
Preserved in original “attic-found” condition – never cleaned, refinished, or molested. The Damascus barrels retain their bold pattern and honest brown patina, the lock and hammers function perfectly, and the walnut stock shows only the light bruises of careful storage. The ebony ramrod with German silver fittings and the German silver wedge escutcheons are all correct and original.
An untouched, 100% authentic Victorian fowling piece that still displays beautifully and would be the centerpiece of any percussion or waterfowling collection.
Don’t miss this magnificent Rock & Co. 10-bore – an honest, attic-found survivor from the golden age of British wildfowling. Click “Buy It Now” or call 478-337-1000 to own this classic today!
