Visit us online at JeremiahJohnsonTrading or find us on Facebook. Our shop is located at 1618 Saybrook Rd. Haddam, CT. Look for the gold '55 Chevy road sign! ~Trades and offers are always considered~ Rare Massive 8 Gauge "Goose Gun" Marked Double Barrel Breechloading Underlever Shotgun, 8 Ga, mfg. ca. 1880's. This impressive piece comes directly from my long time personal collection of choice big bore shotguns and is the only example of this pattern I have ever seen marked "Goose Gun". Big bore shotguns such as this were the preferred weapon of choice for commercial hunters who made their living supplying local hotels and markets with as much waterfowl as they could harvest on a daily basis. The Belgium proofed Damascus barrels measure just over 36" long and feature a brass bead front sight. The upper rib is inscribed "BELGIUM LAMINATED STEEL" with "GOOSE GUN" marked on both locks. Overall the metal has a pleasing rich dark plum patina. The robust stock features a checkered pistol grip and retains a very attractive dark untouched finish. Aside from some tiny surface chips around the edges of the locks and barrel tang the wood remains sound with no cracks or repairs. A lovely old leather pad and buttplate are secured to the stock from the period of use. Matching original hammers, triggerguard, and underlever. Both actions are crisp and function perfectly. Both original firing pins are present and functioning. The cone around the right firing pin does have a very small old crack. The barrels open and close securely against the frame like a bank vault with no play whatsoever. Original extractor functions as it should. The bores are fair with moderate to heavy scattered blackpowder frosting and pinprick surface pitting. The gun weighs a very hefty 14 lbs 8 oz. A classic and rare example of a fine original 8 Gauge shotgun that will be the focal point of any collection. Jeremiah Johnson Trading sells antique firearms manufactured prior to 1899 and muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions only. For the purpose of these conditions the term "antique firearm" will hence include muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions.

No international sales of antique firearms which may fire conventional metallic cartridges or any reproductions regardless of ignition.
