Project Description

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!  This is a 1/4 scale miniature single shot break open shotgun made by master miniature maker Dr. John Cooper of England, about 35 – 40 years ago.  11 3/8″ long overall with a 7 7/16″ round smoothbore barrel of about .172 caliber.  The action is opened by moving the tang lever to the right, then bending the barrel down.  The barrel, receiver, and triggerguard are a pleasing smooth blue with some areas turning a brown patina.  The sling swivels & buttplate screws a brilliant fire blue.  Serrated black plastic buttplate.  Two piece maple stocks with an oil finish.  The action is fully functional with working firing pin and ejector.  I thought it was just an extractor, but when I loaded the dummy shotshell, closed the breech, then opened it, the shotshell flew across the room!  The shotgun is in excellent condition.  Includes one dummy shotshell cartridge contained in a small glass test tube with cork stopper.  Complete with the original Cooper walnut hinged top case with flip latch.  The interior English fit & lined in green felt.  Bought from Dr. Cooper by Ralph Koebbeman in 1990.  Stock # CK-89.  !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
