Product Information

A French Double Barrel Pinfire Shotgun. Circa 1860s. Chambered in 16 bore, it has a very unusual and unique barrel and fore end double hinged release mechanism. The large lever breaks the action open for loading/unloading and the smaller forward lever releases the barrel from the action. It is a very well made and extremely clever piece of engineering not normally found on shotguns. The barrel proof markings are those of St. Etienne, France. When originally made this would have been a very expensive handcrafted gun. There has been an old repair to the stock but it is sound. It has a full working action and can be cocked, stripped and dry fired. It is chambered in an antique obsolete calibre and can therefore be owned live without any form of license.
