Rare poacher’s percussion-cap pistol/shotgun with extension barrel and stock !!!

About 1850.

Genuine; no purchase permit required.

Approximately 110 cm long with the extensions fitted.

Approx. 16 mm calibre !!

The mechanisms work; it may be in firing condition.

Barrel attached with threads and stock secured with a mounting slot.

Fine engravings and pattern on the barrel !

Heavy, massive pistol section; it can also be fired without the extension parts as a pistol, but it kicks fiercely due to the large-calibre charge !!

Concealed trigger, which rises when the firearm is cocked.

The hammer tail points forwards, deliberately designed to conceal the firearm and allow rapid deployment, as the tail does not protrude upwards like on ordinary firearms; factory-made !!

French proof marks !

The poacher could conveniently conceal the firearm disassembled and assemble it into an effective shotgun in 10 seconds !!

Modern standards may no longer permit firing with such an extension barrel..😁

An unusual “criminal” firearm for anyone interested in weapons !!!

It is worth coming to inspect it before bidding !!!!
