Original item: Only one Available. Coming out of the Attic after at least 100 years storage this is truly what we all see as “A CLUNKER”. It’s genuine, and it’s a Belgian made muzzle loading percussion shotgun, which dates to about 1840. This means that it’s almost 180 years old and it looks it! Strictly a “Hang over the fireplace Decorator. Offered uncleaned, AS IS.
Has seen a lot of service, maybe at the Little Big Horn but very very unlikely. Worked to death before 1900 and then left in the garden shed before entering the attic. The “starter” gun in almost ever collection. The barrel wedge does not stay in place without help, and overall it is in rather fragile condition, but could probably be “brought back” into better display condition.
Ready to restore or display as is!
