This is a Victorian 13 Bore double barrel shotgun by Harrison Carlisle. It has an undamaged Walnut stock with finely chequered wrist. The shotgun with double 29 ¾” Damascus steel barrels, has double hammers & triggers. The barrel’s smooth bores have just light staining consistent with age. It has a bead fore sight and the rear sight consists of a shallow groove in the top of the action. The action plates, action tang, steel butt plate tang and trigger guard with extended tang & Pineapple finial have foliate engraved decoration. Both action plates are signed by the makers ‘Harrison’ (most likely T&W) and the barrel rib has very faint ‘Carlisle’. The shotgun has an ebonised wood ram rod with brass end cap and srew off brass tip which reveals a steel worm. The cocking & firing actions of the weapon work crisply. The price includes UK delivery. NB As an antique muzzle loading percussion shotgun no licence is required to own this item in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. Sn 21163
