Meet 298XX
 
Rolled out of Meriden in 1883. This is the most unmolested gun I have encountered. Check those screws. There is light pitting in the bores. About 50% CC 70% Barrels 20% Trigger guard. Sports 30" 10 gauge Damascus barrels. On face and tight. Pretty spry looking 130 year old. A definite in the pheasant fields this fall. These are sellers pics. More pics after sun and sand break from winter and the postal service does its thing. Cheers, Jack

Beautiful old gun! I have a 12 ga just like her only yours has more in graving than mine. It's amazing how well these old hammer guns hold their case colors, mine has wear in almost similar spots. Beautiful gun!

That's one fine hammer gun you were lucky to find her! I know you will enjoy feeding her some low pressure shells Gary

Jack, what a beauty ! Were you able to get any history from the seller on it's use and how it was maintained in such great shape? You have a new hunting companion! Best of luck! Andy
