This classic Prize Machine Gun Co. side-by-side represents a fine example of late 19th-century American sporting arms. Built around the June 20, 1883 patent, this antique double-barrel shotgun was designed as a dependable upland and general sporting gun, combining elegant laminated Damascus barrels with traditional exposed hammers and the rugged simplicity that made these shotguns popular across rural America.

Its 30-inch barrels provide the smooth, deliberate swing prized by bird hunters while helping soften recoil for comfortable shooting. The break-action design is mechanically simple, reliable, and easy to maintain, while the dual external hammers and dual-trigger arrangement offer the classic handling characteristics collectors appreciate in period American doubles.

Featuring beautifully patterned laminated Damascus steel barrels, a solid matted rib, brass bead front sight, walnut furniture, and traditional straight grip, this shotgun captures the craftsmanship and styling of America's golden age of sporting firearms. The "Prize Quality – Laminated Steel" barrel marking further highlights the premium construction offered by Prize Machine Gun Co. during the black powder era.

Chambered in 12 Gauge with fixed Cylinder chokes in both barrels, this shotgun produces wide patterns ideal for close-range upland birds, small game, and traditional field use inside approximately 25 yards. As with all vintage Damascus-barreled firearms, buyers should have the shotgun inspected by a qualified gunsmith before firing and use only ammunition deemed appropriate for the firearm.

As an authentic pre-1899 antique firearm, this Prize Machine Gun Co. shotgun offers tremendous collector appeal while representing an important piece of American firearms history. Included with the original factory case, it makes an outstanding addition to any antique firearms collection or display.
