As this is my only double, please indulge me if I upload a picture. It is believed to be more than 150 years old, still in resonable condition, and still shoots. Made for Rawbone in Capetown, it fires "winged" cast bullets of 460gr, caliber roughly .450. I just love really old rifles, and hope someday to find a client to do a 21 day walk only safari with a 8 or 4 bore, and maybe a light rifle like this one...
