Original Item: Only One Available. This fine double barrel “dual bore” shotgun was almost certainly made originally in Germany, as the “small” or “wrist” of the wood stock had been carved into a “Wild Boar’s Head,” a black forest tradition. The gun measures 38″ in overall length with 22 3/4″ barrels. Interestingly, the right barrel is 12 bore, while the left is 16 bore.
The back action percussion locks to each side totally unmarked, the butt with left hand side carved in cheek piece. White metal, possibly Nickel Silver trigger guard and butt plate. Very appealing and in good overall display condition. Ready to hang over the fireplace in your hunting lodge!
