American Arms Co. Sliding Breech Double Barrel Hammer Shotgun

Designed by George H. Fox and manufactured from 1870 through 1884 with a unique sliding breech action. The action moves to the right when the upper tang mounted release is pushed up. The Damascus double barrels have 2 5/8 inch chambers. Mounted on a checkered splinter forearm, with checkered round knob pistol grip stock and a casehardened smooth steel buttplate. Length of pull is 14 inches.

ConditionVery good. The barrels have 90% of the original brown finish. There is a small crack in the trigger guard, some surface scratches and minor dings. The left barrel has a slight bulge approximately 3 inches back from the muzzle. The receiver has some vibrant case colors, with silvering and edge wear. The wood is very good as refreshed, with scattered small indentations, light scratches and well defined checkering. Mechanically excellent.
