DESCRIPTION: French M. 1867 "a Tabatiere" rifle converted to a percussion shotgun. This was originally a French Mle.1857 percussion rifle, that was later converted to M.1867 breech loading rifle, and finally converted to the smoothbore percussion shotgun configuration. The gun features a modified Snider hinged block action that was converted from centerfire to percussion. Different patterns of the Tabatiere ("snuffbox") breech loading rifles and carbines were manufactured for the French infantry, cavalry, artillery, dragoons, chasseurs, gendarmerie and navy. Shortly after the Franco-Prussian war, the French military decided that these guns were obsolete. The Tabatiere rifles and carbines were sold as surplus. Consequently, they were converted to inexpensive commercial arms, with their stocks shortened, and their barrels bored smooth for shot shells. These cut down, smooth bored guns were sold all over the world and are known today on the collector market as "Zulu Shotguns". This particular shotgun was manufactured at one of French arsenals, as indicated by markings on some metal parts. It was converted to "Zulu shotgun" configuration in Belgium, as indicated by Liege proof marks on the barrel and breech mechanism. Walnut half stock with steel buttplate and trigger guard. The right side of the buttstock displays a "Holy Water" plug. The metal parts of the shotgun display many French and Belgian arsenal markings, poincons and numbers. The upper part of the barrel shows some decorative markings and, possibly, a retailer name (unrecognizable, please, see pictures). Steel breech mechanism and receiver. The bore diameter is slightly less than 18 mm. Overall length: 52 inch. Barrel length: 34.75 inch. CONDITION: Fine+. The shotgun has about 87-90% of its blue finish. Some, occasional light patina on metal. Solid stock with some handling marks and light dings. There are no cracks in wood. Bore is in excellent condition. All the internal parts of the shotgun are in fine condition, with no visible wear. Mechanically, the shotgun is in excellent condition, with a very crisp, strong action. All the markings and numbers are clearly visible on metal. |

DESCRIPTION: Fine double barrel percussion fowler by Paul Ebert in Suhl, Prussia. A fowler is a muzzle-loading smoothbore shotgun designed to fire a number of pellets at one time. Fowlers were used throughout centuries for hunting small games, especially birds. The gun maker Paul Ebert is listed in Suhl circa 1830-44. Paul Ebert was famous for manufacturing the top quality hunting guns. Ebert's highest quality guns were manufactured only in very limited numbers on the European aristocracy and royal families orders. The fowler features 31.75 inch long twist barrels with gold inlaid foresight, gunsmith's signature and breech. Engraved and gold inlaid locks. Intrically engraved, chiseled and gold inlaid hammers. Sliding safeties. Engraved and gold inlaid mounts. Beautiful half stock with steel buttplate. The latter also shows some engraving and some gold inlays.

Mechanically the gun is in excellent condition, as well. All the internal parts of the fowler are in excellent condition, with no visible wear. Minor wear to gold inlays. Beautiful stock shows minor handling marks. The right side of the buttstock has some small scratches. Crisp checkering at the wrist. The stock was cleaned and refurbished a long time. This is typical for all European hunting guns, some of them were cleaned, or refurbished after the end of every hunting season. The right side of the forestock shows a high quality repair with a small block of wood nicely replaced, just above the front part of the lockplate (please, see pictures). The buttstock sling swivel is a modern replacement. Beautiful German double barrel percussion fowler by one of the best Prussian gun makers! Antique. |

Scarce Nepalese Gurkha Sharps Percussion RifleCaliber: .577 (?) Price: $2975 Inventory # arc_0595 |
DESCRIPTION: Very scarce Nepalese issue Sharps breech loading percussion rifle. The rifle is based on the 1853-type Sharps. It was manufactured locally in Nepal in 1860-s. The rifle was issued to elite Gurkha regiments, and consequently it is often called, "Gurkha Sharps". Production of the rifle in Nepal caused serious logistical problems. Information about this rifle is still insufficient, but the most common opinion is that only a very limited number of guns of this pattern were manufactured for the Government of Nepal. Sharps rifles in Nepalese army were soon replaced by Sniders. Consequently, Nepalese Sharps rifles were withdrawn from service and stored for many decades in the government warehouse. Steel receiver. Steel barrel with 3 grooves. Fixed front sight. Ramp and leaf military style rear sights. Brass buttplate and nosecap. Three steel barrel bands. Two sling swivels. The barrel of the rifle displays a "Crown", stamped just behind the rear sights. No other markings are present on the rifle. Complete with an original ramrod. Judging the features of the action and the style of rear sights, this must be a late production Nepalese Sharps rifle. The early production Nepalese Sharps rifles had slightly different configuration with a very simple rear sights. Nepalese Sharps were until recently totally unknown on the collector market. A few rifles of this type were smuggled out of Nepal before 1990-s. The first example of this rifle I have seen in 1980-s, advertised as "Confederate Production Sharps" (sic!). More rifles of this pattern were imported from Nepal, along with Sniders and Martinis, in the last ten years. CONDITION: Excellent. About 85% of original finish is still present on metal. Some finish is turning to brownish color patina. Most of the wear is on the barrel bands, lever and on the receiver. No pitting. Solid stocks with some minor handling marks. No cracks of any kind to the stocks. The bore is in excellent condition with strong and shiny rifling. Mechanically, the rifle is in fine condition with crisp, strong action. Percussion lock works fine. All the internal parts of the rifle are in fine condition, with no obvious wear. Overall length: 53 inch. Barrel length: 36.75 inch. Scarce Nepalese Sharps rifle in very collectible condition! (Ref. "Guns of the Gurkhas", by John Walter, pp. 56-59). |

DESCRIPTION: Scarce Afghan Pattern 1858 Enfield saddle ring cavalry carbine! This was a short version of the 1858 Long Enfield with the addition of a swivel ramrod. The rifled carbines of this pattern are somewhat difficult to find in original condition. The carbine uses the same ammunition as the 1853 and 1858 Enfields (Minié-type). I believe that the carbine was manufactured at the Kabul Arsenal, that was created and equipped by the British. The carbine displays several Arabic markings on the lockplate and barrel. I was told that the meaning of them is "Kabul Arsenal" and "Mir Abdurhman, Father of Amanullah". Two barrel band configuration. Brass trigger guard and buttplate. Fixed front and rear sights. Complete with an original swivel ramrod and saddle ring. CONDITION: Low fine. Percussion lock works fine. Polished steel finish on all metal parts. Some scattered light patina. The stock shows the usual handling marks and small dings. There are some hairline cracks on the stock, next to the lockplate, and behind the barrel tang. The stock was refinished. There is an extra hole in the lower part of the buttstock for a sling swivel. All the markings on metal are clearly visible. Overall length: 37.25 inch. Barrel length: 21.25 inch.

DESCRIPTION: Target bench rifle with a very heavy half-round, half-octagonal barrel stamped "Remington". Very early and scarce target bench rifle! Manufactured in the very early period of the gun maker activity, before the mass production of Remington rifles began. There is no indication if Remington manufactured just the barrel, which is signed with his name, or the entire rifle. Most of the books on the subject indicate that, in the early period of his activity, Remington manufactured just barrels. The "Remington" markings on the barrel are slightly fading, but still recognizable (please, see pictures). The front part of the lockplate displays another gun maker markings, "A. Hundt". The caliber of the rifle seems to be about 0.50 mm (based on the bore diameter). Fixed front and rear sights. The back of the barrel is predrilled for some kind of the target scope. The distance between the centers of the holes is exactly 1 inch. Target style brass buttplate and trigger guard. Double set trigger. The lower/front part of the stock displays a decorative brass plate (for the owner initials?). Massive metal nosecap (I am not sure what metal it is). The lockplate is lightly engraved in geometrical motifs. Brass counterplate. Very nice walnut stock with "tiger stripes" pattern (please, see pictures). The ramrod is missing. The two brass fittings for the stock key are also missing. The overall length of the rifle is 43.5 inch. The barrel length is 28 inch. The length of the octagonal part of the barrel is 13 inch. The length of the round part of the barrel is 15 inch. The diameter of the front of the barrel is 30 mm. The diameter of the barrel just before the octagon starts is 37 mm. The diameter of the barrel at the octagon is 41 mm. The thickness of the barrel walls at the muzzle is 8.5 mm. Weight of the rifle is about 20 pounds. CONDITION: Very good+ to fine, antique condition. Metal is covered with smooth, gray patina. A couple of spots of metal roughness on the lockplate and barrel. The front part of the stock has some old cracks. The stock shows some old glue under the barrel, so the cracks seem to be secured. Wood was most likely refinished when the cracks were repaired. The front/right side of the stock shows some wear along the barrel line. There is also some stock wear under the barrel, all the way to the ramrod channel (please, see pictures). The hammer does not stay cocked, the main spring may need to be adjusted. Very impressive early American target bench rifle! Antique. (Oversize shipping and insurance rate is $45 for this item only). |
