Re: The Howdah Discussion thread

I went to the Tulsa gun show last spring, amazing!!!! !! acres under one roof with 4,200 tables!!!! I encountered a fellow walking around trying to peddle a "Howda"? I looked it over and it appeared to be from continental Europe, it was really in nice condition, back action percussion locks that wouldn't hold on full cock, that would be a fairly easy fix. The Damascus twist on the barrels looked applied and the bores were smooth at about .70 cal. about 8 inches long by my bore gauge and surprisingly clean on the inside. It had a front bead and no rear sight. I guess you could consider this a Howda? I am sure it was not a homemade cut down shotgun and it was really in decent shootable condition after lock work and a pair of nipples. He said make an offer but I stupidly walked on.....DUHHHHH

I was holding out for a double bore rifle,,,,but that didn't happen either.
