According to Flayderman's Guide, only 25 of these "cloverleaf" revolving shotguns were manufactured in the 1860s-1870s. These were split into two different versions: one with a solid frame like this one and another version with a hinged frame. The barrel has an adjustable choke ring and bead front sight. "S.H. ROPER" is marked on the plate on the top of the action. It is equipped with a smooth forearm with horn tip and a finely figured, straight wrist buttstock with a shotgun buttplate and 12 3/4 inch length of pull to the firing trigger.
