Description:

This pinfire shotgun is marked with "f.p. [Brux?] a Paris" on the rib, proof marks including intertwined "EL" Liege black powder proofs, "LECLERE", and "BREVETE" on the bottom of the barrels; and has a gold plated "EC" monogram on the bottom of the trigger guard. The barrels have attractive Damascus patterns and a bead front sight (mostly absent). The other metal components have full coverage floral scroll designs in relief. The chambers are 2 1/2 inches and the bore at the muzzles is equivalent to a 12 gauge full choke. It is mounted with a checkered straight wrist buttstock. The length of pull is 14 inches. A sling swivel is mounted to the bottom of the rib, and a second sling swivel stud is fitted to the bottom of the stock.

Rating Definition:

Good. The barrel retains rich Damascus patterns. The buttplate has a dark patina and pitting. The remaining metal surfaces are mostly bright with some gray patina and faint pitting/spotting. The stock is good as refinished and repaired (wrist) with mostly smoothed checkering and some small pressure marks and scrapes. One of the hammers is a replacement, but the action is excellent.
