Lot 1572:
Engraved Double Barrel Percussion Shotgun with 36.5 Inch Barrels for Parts/Repair
Description
This mid-19th-century percussion muzzleloading shotgun features approximately 36.5-inch side-by-side barrels and a traditional dual hammer and trigger action. The firearm is configured with a straight-wrist dark wood stock and metal furniture including a rusted trigger guard and buttplate. A wooden ramrod is retained by two pipes located beneath the barrels. The lock plates and hammers display remnants of scroll-work engraving, though heavy oxidation has obscured any specific manufacturer’s marks or serial numbers. The stock shows significant age-related wear, including a large horizontal split through the wrist area that has been reinforced with pins or screws. This item is being sold for parts or repair only. Note – As an antique or black powder firearm, this item does not require a background check.
Condition report:
The metal surfaces exhibit heavy oxidation, deep pitting, and a thick brown patina throughout the barrels, hammers, and lock plates. The wood stock shows numerous deep scratches, dings, and a significant structural split at the wrist. The bore condition is dark and heavily pitted. The mechanical function has not been verified, and the hammers and triggers appear seized due to corrosion.
