Built in June 1889. This is a true "Ball Gun". Smooth bore. Built for 10 drams and a spherical bullet or shot. Pistol grip with extended top strap, rebounding hammers. The bore dimensions are .835" throughout both bores. Barrels are 26". Gun weight is 13 lbs. 10 oz.
I have only shot this one with 69 grains of Blue Dot, which was not a bunch of fun, but it needs more power as the bullets were spread about 4 inches at 50 yards.
This rifle is probably in the finest original condition of any gun of this vintage which I have owned. The laquer over the case colors has protected the gun tremendously. You can see where the wear is, the color is gone and the metal down to silver. But the others parts of the gun are perfect.
