WHAT’S INCLUDED: FIREARM
This Belgian H. Pieper cape gun is the real deal old-world mixed-game tool: one shotgun barrel for birds and small game, one rifle barrel for when something with shoulders steps out. This is the kind of continental field gun that let a hunter walk all day with one arm and still be “ready for anything.”
Mechanically, this is a true external-hammer break-action with a top lever and double triggers—classic, intuitive, and built for quick decisions. The hammers give you positive, visible status and old-school control, while double triggers keep barrel selection simple: you choose your barrel by trigger, no gadgetry required.
The 12 gauge barrel handles traditional shotgun work—upland, small game, and general field duty—while the 9.3×47R rifle barrel brings heavy-hitting, short-to-mid range authority in a classic European forest cartridge. This pairing is exactly what cape guns were born for: feather or fur, plan A or plan B, same gun.
The receiver displays beautiful, mottled color case hardening that pops in the hand—a big part of the appeal on a piece like this. The walnut stock wears a straight grip with checkered wrist for a fast, natural mount and authentic period handling.
Collector-wise, this one checks the boxes: H. Pieper name, Liège proofs, patent rib marking (“H. Pieper Patented April 28, 1881 Belgium”), strong case colors, and the romance factor of external hammers. It’s a display-quality European hunting artifact that’s still built like a working tool.
