Double flint side-by-side shotgun

The third and final (for now) in the series of European firearms is this extraordinary interpretation of a late 1700's "best gun" features gold lined pans, color case hardened locks and a patent breech. It comes with a fitted case as is consistent with the best and highest quality shotguns of the time, containing the standard accouterments, all created for this ensemble.

These pictures are of the shotgun itself taken under less than ideal conditions in a snowstorm this afternoon. These will be followed by pictures of the walnut case, as the lighting conditions improve.
