Rare Finely Engraved European Four Barrel Percussion Shotgun

Manufactured around the mid-19th century and featuring four barrels fired using two triggers and locks. The hammers have pivoting strikers to switch between the upper and lower barrels. The barrels are textured Damascus, and a faint Liege proof is visible by the rear ramrod pipe. The locks and furniture have scroll engraving. The stock is nicely figured and has a checkered wrist and large cheek piece. Replacement wooden ramrod.

ConditionFine with mostly smooth gray patina, crisp engraving and Damascus patterns, absent middle ramrod pipe, and generally minor mostly from age and storage. The wood is also fine and has distinct checkering, attractive figure, a hole for an absent sling swivel, and a crack on the right side of the wrist. Mechanically excellent.
