This is a miniature double barrel percussion shotgun made in Belgium in 1924.  15 3/8″ long overall with 7 1/2″ barrels.  6 3/4″ length of pull from the front trigger.  Beautiful Beautiful Damascus barrels with very fine scroll engraving near the case colored hook breech.  Case colored and engraved top tang. Engraved barrel rib with an oval that is silver inlaid “DAMASCO FINO” which translates to fine Damascus.  Brass bead front sight.  The lock plates and hammers are engraved and case colored, both locks with a high relief silver dog inlaid on the right lockplate in front of the hammer and what looks to be a silver inlaid doe deer inlaid on the left lockplate. Engraved hammers with finely checkered hammer spurs.  Typical double triggers.  The triggerguard and forearm ramrod thimble finely checkered and blued.  Blue unadorned buttplate.  An engraved nickel plated patchbox with hinged lid is inlaid into the right side of the buttstock .  Straight grained walnut one piece stock with very finely checkered wrist and forearm, with some carving on the knob of the grip.  There is a single sling swivel eye on the bottom of the forearm that when unscrewed releases the barrels.  The bottom of both barrels with Belgium proof marks, the date 1924, and other markings that I can’t decipher.  Beautiful condition showing 98+% Damascus on the barrels, 99% case colors on the breach, 95% on the lock plates, and 98% on the hammers. 98% blue on the triggerguard, triggers, forearm cap, & buttplate. Some of the screws are fire “blue” blue. The stock about 95% with some minor bruising to the checkering on the forearm.  The nipples show little to no evidence of having been dry fired. Hickory ramrod with a horn tip. Price: $3,500.00.
