Antique Belgian Tabatiere “Zulu” Breechloading Shotgun
Description: Antique Belgian Tabatiere “Zulu” Breechloading Shotgun Interesting Shotgun Conversion of French Musket Here we present an antique “Zulu” Breech-loading Shotgun. The origin of this shotgun is an interesting one. Originally, this was an 1857 French musket. Soon after they converted these muzzleloaders to breech-loaders, using the Snider system, so that they became known as the Model 1867. By the end of the Franco-Prussian War, the French decided that the converted muskets were unacceptable and once again updated their arsenals. Being that there was no lucrative market for these surplus guns as they were, a Belgian gunmaker had the idea to convert these (for a second time) into shotguns. These guns went by a number of different names. Here is a list of some of them: Zulu, Tabatiere, Greenback, Hunter, Kaffir and Snider. The name “Zulu” probably came from the British Colonial Zula War of 1879, around the time period where sales of these guns was at its highest. This specimen is marked “Modoc” on the top of the barrel and Liege marked on the left side of the breech. An interesting specimen indeed. Condition is fair. The mechanism (hammer, trigger) is functional. The firing pin is lacking. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 33-1/2 inches in length. Caliber: 12 gauge Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $550 #10348 SOLD Antique: Yes |
