Cape Gun, Percussion fired, SxS 12ga/40-cal Rifle-Shotgun
Description: This is rather interesting firearm. Cape guns were popular in the area of the South African Cape, hence the term Cape Gun. As is usual for this type of firearm, whether it be a percussion-fired or a centerfire cartridge type, one barrel is a smoothbore shotgun barrel, the other is a rifled barrel. Pointing the Cape Gun down range, the right-hand barrel is the rifle barrel while the left hand one is the shotgun barrel. This configuration indicates the Cape Gun is likely German or Austrian in origin. The British made cape guns had their barrels in the reverse positions. The shotgun barrel is in good condition though there could be small spots of pitting about halfway down the length of the bore. The rifle barrel retains well defined rifling which is surprising given the gun’s age. Unfortunately, the rifle barrel’s hammer does not stay cocked back though this is likely a rectifiable issue. In any case, this is not really a shooting gun given its age. It would make a nice display gun. The wood and its metal inlaying, as well as the receiver and its engraving are very well done are quite beautiful. The cape gun uses a double trigger system. The front trigger fires the rifle barrel while the rear trigger fires the shotgun barrel.
