1850s Antique BELGIAN 12 Gauge Double Barrel SIDE x SIDE Percussion SHOTGUN Belgian HOMESTEAD Hunting/Fowling Piece

Description:
1850s Antique BELGIAN 12 Gauge Double Barrel SIDE x SIDE Percussion SHOTGUN

Belgian HOMESTEAD Hunting/Fowling Piece

Here we present an antique Belgian Double Barrel Side by Side Percussion Shotgun, manufactured circa the 1850s likely in Liege, Belgium. During this era, there were many English and Belgian gunmakers who were capitalizing on the eager markets in the United States.

This 12 gauge shotgun was a sought after gauge, due to the ability to use it for medium or large size game, along with waterfowl. It’s average size 32 inch barrel made for easy hunting in the dense woods or traipsing through the marsh looking for ducks and geese. This would have been a staple of most homesteads hanging over the mantle during the tumultuous times of the mid-1800s. It would have been used for putting food on the table or warding off unwanted aggression.
The overall condition is good. This example has been refinished and maintains a smooth brown patina. Strong action. Nicely checkered wrist. Solid stock all with only an average amount of handling wear. Both bores are good for their age and remain smooth.
