Daniel Border (1826-1891) was a talented gunmaker, jeweler, locksmith, watchmaker, and silversmith in Bedford, Pennsylvania, working earlier on with firearms before transitioning into his other trades. The locks are each signed "D Border" and have "wiggle" line border engraving. The left barrel is rifled and approximately .42 caliber, and the right is smoothbore and approximately .47 caliber. They have interesting sights centered between the barrels consisting of a blade front sight and a broad U-notch rear sight with bases that fit into dovetails on both barrels. The gun features adjustable double set triggers and brass furniture. The maple stock is plain and has a Bedford County style butt profile.
