Banzai-

Here's another critter from one of the locks on the Claudin 16b double.

I have a few other interesting mid 19th century guns, these ones were handy on my photo hosting site account.
Both of these guns are high grade examples from thier makers with extensive engraving of interesting design, showcase damascus barrels, full island locks, and very pretty wood.
Examples like these are extremely rare, but there's still a lot of value to be found in mid century sporting guns from early in the times of the metallic cartridge.

That Lefaucheux is just amazing too. The damascus pattern in the barrels is goregeous, the metal work all over the gun is beautiful. Double underbites with a 'T' shaped locking bolt, it's good to shoot with stiff black powder loads, the gun is in fantastic unrestored nearly perfect condition.
Mr Lefaucheux had just gotten his new shop set up on 37 Vivian Road in Paris. The facility was mainly built to manufacture pistols. This is one of very, very few sporting guns made by him featuring the later patent locking system, he died during his second year in business at that address.
This is one of the last sporting guns he made although the shop continued to produce shotguns for quite some time into the twentieth century after his death.
And what a cutie it is!!
