Very clever piece of lock work isn't it!
Marvellously put together a drilling when you think about it!

Now that is really something!
Lovingly restored, just as good as the day it come off the factory floor - beautiful workmanship!
But pinfire cartridge - how does one get them or even possibly make those?

I doubt it's a restoration

As for the cartridge cases, it is not a great obstacle at all

If its not a restoration, then it has been a safe queen for a very long time then, the owner unable to find cartridge just let it sit, still lovingly looked after if it was.

From time to time these come up like this

As a transitional cartridge gun, especially one featuring the pinfire rifle barrel, the rapid evolution to central fire left some very clean examples like this sitting unused as the newer and easier to manage system swept the marketplace

Still there's the missing gear for this one
A case and tools would definitely complete the picture, even more so if there was a mould for the rifle barrel

As it sits, it's a time capsule
Getting one like this into service isn't terribly difficult for someone with determination, skills, and tooling

I'd run it

Don’t know anything about the maker but the gun appears well made to my untrained eyes. Pretty good deal for around here

L2,899.99 is $4,490.28. No, I would say that price is not too much for this gun, not by a long shot.
The chambers and bores need a bit of work, but nothing out of range.

I looked at this & thought that there was something that just didn't look right here!
The shape of the hammers - they're flat, more like a striker really.
Unusual piece, part old, part new, interesting all the same.
Lovely piece to show Lancaster, thanks for that.

Schrader combination gun 16 ga+ 9,3x82R with a short rifle barrel
https://www.egun.de/market/item.php?id=19380122
shotgun barrel 70 cm , rifle barrel only 51 cm

this was an idea before the great war that never realy catch on. they realise it was possible to made the rifle barrel shorter for safe weight with a similar velocity, anyway enough for hunting the common game but most people don't like it for several reasons.

As usual, lancaster bring home the bacon!

What an interesting gun!

And the first time I've seen a stubby rifle barrel mated w/ a longer shotgun tube.

I'm familiar w/ 9.3x72R & 9.3x57R/.360 but not the 82mm version. May I assume the "standard" 192 grain bullet is jogging along at around the same 2000 fps as the 72 version?

This would put the thing in the roe deer/fox/hare category*?

* Tho the gun savvy Nansen equipped himself and Johansen on their amazing "Farthest North" expedition w/ x57R/.360's and used them effectively on Polar Bear and walrus! His combination guns being 20 ga - 9.3x57R/.360...a genius choice really, allowing a large amount of ammo to be carried on their sleds. He lost his .577 over the side of a small boat early in the expedition!
