Default 3 barrel SxS?

A friend of mine sent me this picture and wanted to know if it's real. No detail of what make it is or how many triggers it has. Anyone have any insight into these 3 barrel SxS's?

I believe Dickson, Lancaster, and Boss have made them. Corrections of this statement are welcome.

Not long ago, there was an advertisement in the DGJ for a SxSxS gun.

About 6 years ago, I handled a 20 gauge SxSxS Holland and Holland in their factory. It was not as bulky as I expected. It was a single trigger gun. They were having a bit of a problem getting the trigger to work correctly

Why not just buy an autoloader? If you can't get it done with two barrels what makes one think you can do it with three?

Expensive novelty I think.

The plant manager admitted that much of their high end stuff was in the category of "I've got it, and you don't". During that same trip I saw a 4 gauge SxS which the manager claimed had "over $100,000 worth of engraving"

Dean I suppose the single shot guys say the same about us double gun guys. Just depends on your paradigm.

John, I used to shoot skeet with a fellow who shot a Cosmi. A very unusual gun to be sure.
