Shotgun

Not a luger, but just picked up a fine old 12 gauge muzzle loader. Beautiful Damascus barrels. Rather unique hammer safeties. Very light around 6 lbs. All functions very well. Will probably never fire it.

Very nice Bill! Enjoy! Any names on it?

On the barrel rib in fancy letters is CANON A RUHAN . Probably the original owners name. It is serial numbered and Belgium proofed. Thanks for the interest. Bill

Bill, Very nice old piece! You have to appreciate those..fine old gun and nicely made. Even if you never fire it..it's a thing to admire.

I see about 8 other butts in the middle pic....those other long guns of yours ??

I'm pretty sure that great looking shotgun would fit very nicely in my gunsafe Bill, and those damascus barrels are outstanding, congratulations.

That shotgun has aged quite well Bill. Nice find.

Curss 03-01-2014 11:16 PM

She's a beauty! Those hammer safeties are neat looking.

That is a real beauty!! I love to see what the old REAL craftsmen turned out and took pride in. Congrats

very nice Bill :)

nice wood on it

very nice Bill. Congrats.
I was offered a Winchester Model 1897 Pump Action shotgun with a 2nd interchangeable barrel, from Dmitry!! it has a very nice bluing and walnut stock has the original metal butt pad. If you're interested give him a call!

VERY pretty! Very fine craftsmanship.

I wouldn't fire it either - Damascus barrels scare me. Probably not for any good reason, but the whole idea just doesn't resonate with me.

Very nice gun. I love old double barrels. Just for discussion sake,
this is a 1900ish Belgium 12ga that was given to me a few years back.

I hunt with it occasionally. Had to get low pressure shells for it though.

I'm not an expert on long guns but it looks a work of art, congratulations.
I like muzzle loading guns too; sometimes I like to use my muzzle-loading pistol at the range, it's only a replica cal. 36, but using black powder it's quite exciting.

Congratulations again for your purchase.

Sergio
