It is remarkable.
It also has issues with the action and the lockwork and the bore condition is questionable.

But very cool!

Not to echo you Daryl but that gun is really neat. I would love to find a cheap plain one at a gun show. Looks to me like a PERFECT elk, moose, or bear rifle.

Does anyone have any idea how long the cases would be?

Certainly a very attractive and desirable rife but one thing confuses me

The Birmingham Proof marks on the barrel flats show 8 (for 8 bore, not a 4 bore) a major difference in the price/value (cartridge 4 bores being over double the price of 8 bores)?

I could not find a way to translate the German? text so of that would possibly show the answer

I’m thinking the same.
Four bores are absurdly disproportionate in the size of the locks and hammers opposed to the massive breech. This rifle looks much like other 8 bores to my eye.
Then, of course is the “8” on the flats....

A friend of mine owned twelve 8 Bore double rifles and four 4 Bore double rifles, two of the 4 Bore double rifles were Rodda's fully engraved and made for the Nizam of Hyderabad. They weighed 22 pounds each and were MUCH more massive than the above double rifle. I agree with TH44 and Huvius that it is an 8 Bore. Probably weighs 15 to 17 pounds.

The 8 and 4 bore double rifles seem to always look so chunky, clubby, ugly..

a 16 ga+14 mm combination gun probably build by Johann Nepomuk Schemmetzler in Bruck an der Mur around 1830 as a muzzle loader , later rebuild into a breech loader for center fire cartridges by an unknown gunmaker. the 14 mm rifle barrel will using 28 ga cases, imho.

JOH. PETERLONGO
A 14,5X41R (SPANISH BERDAN) LEFAUCHEUX PATENT UNDERLEVER DOUBLE HAMMER RIFLE, serial no. 4887,
serial number on under rib only, 28 1/2in. barrels, the rib gold-inlaid 'JOH. PETERLONGO IN INNSBRUCK', with open sights, folding leaf sight and bead fore-sight, carved serpentine fences with diamond and dot engraving, nickelled lining plates to the striker channels, horn-encased Lefaucheux patent forward facing underlever, permanently attached fore-end, rebounding back-action locks with ornately carved dolphin hammers (one lightly damaged), set triggers, broad triggerguard with scrolled horn pistolgrip, the action, lockplates and furniture carved with bold acanthus surrounding game scenes of wild boar, roe deer, red deer, pointer and chamois, 13 3/8in. stock with cheekpiece and steel buttplate, missing sling eye, minor losses to edges of fore-end wood, weight 8lb. 3oz.

Exhibited: Manuel Lopo de Carvalho Collection





I like Holt's but in this case it seems the specialist come to their limits. only because it come from the iberian peninsula dont make it a 14,5x41R spanish berdan double rifle.




anyway, they try to identify this good as possible. there are not many informations around about the 40 mm long Kugelpatronen( bullet cartridges or better rifle cartridges) based on shotgun shell like here a 24/40.

in fact a Mauser 71 action, looks like a target rifle, maybe a 12 ga for shooting the eagle target

14.5mm is .5709", so is closer to 24 bore (.579").

I won this. Interested in seeing more about it. Looks like there are at least some markings on it. I am thinking it either takes 12mm or 15mm cartridge. Maybe it is the unknown military experimental rifle made by Københavns Tøjhus for their arsenal-made carbine-length cartridge here:

congratulation, you get it for a good price so there will be money left over for export. do you have a plan how to get it into the united states?
rifles for pinfire cartridges are allwasy rare and I see never more than 1- 3 over a year for sale.
this one is very special with the brass action what would be enough for a short carbine cartridge.
the peep sight is very strange. looking forward what for a cartridge it will be.

E1500 for the 8-bore double so far. No idea of its condition. Reading King Solomon's Mines again currently where three pairs of 8-bore doubles are featured.

Fromthe pictures, it looks like the butt has a lot of drop so the recoil may be fairly high compared to a morer straight stock.

My Husqvarna SxS with Lefaucheau underlever had right barrel rifled to 13 bore, .705" groove diameter, so taking a 16 bore brass case. The left barrel was 16 bore for paper case and modified choke.
I posted pictures of it, long time ago.

Gastine Rénette, maybe a 500 BPE once than smooth bored to 28 ga https://www.naturabuy.fr/Magnifique-Expr...em-9747995.html

























such things were also done in great britain to hold the gun on a simple shotgun licence but very sad none the less. would be a nice basic gun to made a 28 bore express if you find someone who get a new rifling into the shotgun barrels.
