Here in the States, they were outlawed in the mid 1800's. There are many stories of hearing booms in the early hours from the Chesapeake Bay until the 1940's. Hidden guns and boats survived for almost a hundred years Talk about a market hunting gun!!!

I see complete units of boat and gun in some of the UK auctions, beautiful. I haves smiled over the Holland and Holland punt in their Manhattan showroom. Also there is a double 4 bore rifle. Nice combo.....
