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.
