4-barrel Howdah S/S & O/U - 2 hammers and 2 internal strikers chambered in .577 Snider was featured in a G&A magazine back in the 60's. I remember reading that article over and over with photos and drawings to stir the hunting soul of a lad who was supposed to be studying - well, I was - just not school work.

I am trying to remember the maker's name - but alas, cannot bring my self to recall the script under the photo of the pistol at this time.

There was also an o/u with side by side hammers, under lever/ The left hammer had a long projection to hit the slanted firing pin from the bottom barrel - again, a .577 Snider.

That is what & how I remember these guns - hope they were real and it wasn't simply an elaborate dream! LOL
