Scarce Burgess Gun Co. Damascus Slide Action Shotgun Two Barrel Set

Manufactured from 1892 to 1899 before the company and all the patents were purchased by the Winchester Firearms Company. Single bead sight, 2 3/4 inch chamber, choked improved modified. Full length solid rib with the one-line patent marking, "BURGESS GUN CO./BUFFALO, N.Y. U.S.A." on top of the bolt, and a checkered hard rubber and blue steel sliding grip. With a checkered forearm and hard rubber Burgess Gun Co. dog's head buttplate. Includes extra matching numbered 12 gauge 28 inch solid rib barrel with 2 3/4 inch chamber and cylinder choke.

ConditionVery good plus. The barrel sets have an overall dark brown patina with areas of visible Damascus pattern, some rougher spotting, and clear markings. The receiver is mostly brown with very faint markings, and spotting throughout. The wood is very good with well defined checkering, dings, and bruises throughout. Mechanically excellent.
