Manufactured in the late 19th century in Belgium, this unique rolling block volley rifle (sometimes referred to as a goose gun) has a seven round barrel cluster housed in a single iron sleeve which is 1 inch across. The barrel cluster gauges at .22 caliber. These chambers all fire at the same time, thus propelling the lead bullets simultaneously toward their target. The rifle has a blade front sight and a two leaf rear sight (one folding, the other fixed) on a solid matte rib which is marked "H. PIEPER Bte LIEGE" behind the rear sight. The hammer, lever, breech block and receiver are casehardened with a matte type engraving on the receiver. Proofs are stamped on the left side of the receiver. The nicely figured pistol grip stock and forearm are checkered with a flat steel buttplate. Included with the rifle is a speed loader.

Very good plus. The barrel retains traces of original blue finish in the protected areas with the balance a mottled brown patina. The remaining metal surfaces have an overall smooth dark patina. The wood is very fine with a small hairline crack near the upper tang, a few minor handling marks and some scattered minor blemishes in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically fine.
