BELGIAN Antique “ZULU” 12 Gauge Single Shot Shotgun
Description: BELGIAN Antique “ZULU” 12 Gauge Single Shot Shotgun Tabatiere ZULU Conversion of French Musket Here we present an antique “ZULU” Breech-loading Shotgun. The origin of this shotgun is an interesting one. Originally, this was an 1857 French musket. Soon after they converted these muzzleloaders to breech-loaders, using the Snider system, so that they became known as the Model 1867. By the end of the Franco-Prussian War, the French decided that the converted muskets were unacceptable and once again updated their arsenals. Being that there was no lucrative market for these surplus guns as they were, a Belgian gunmaker had the idea to convert these (for a second time) into shotguns. These guns went by a number of different names. Here is a list of some of them: Zulu, Tabatiere, Greenback, Hunter, Kaffir and Snider. The name “Zulu” probably came from the British Colonial Zula War of 1879, around the time period where sales of these guns was at its highest. Belgian proof marks on the barrel. The overall condition is very good. The metal surfaces are dark with age. The markings are clear. The bore is dark. The stock is in good shape and solid. The action on this shotgun is excellent. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 27-1/2 inches. Caliber: 12 Gauge Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $450 #6462 SOLD Antique: Yes |
