Is it a howdah pistol or merely a double barrelled pistol?
Perhaps a reason no bids for the price.
It certainly does not meet the criteria in my mind, the ability to fire TWO QUICK shots at a tiger on an elephants back.
But better than a single shot.
No doubt there are variations on what was used back in the day due to different preferences and pockets.
Doing a search on the cartridges images of single shot rifles appear from other sales, so it is a fair guess, the orderer had a single shot rifle in the same cartridge as his double barrelled handgun.
