Item Description: Translate description
serial #7066, 12 ga, 32'' damascus barrels with oxidized bores that show some more moderate pitting ahead of the chambers, becoming more minor approaching the muzzles. This circa 1886 shotgun was made, or retailed by, Jean Baptiste Revol of New Orleans, the barrels being of Belgian make and the metal surfaces mostly toned to a deep gray and gray-brown patina showing some scattered old oxidation staining and a few areas of cleaned light pitting along the barrels that are now mostly smoothed-over. The barrels retain good damascus twist patterns and the rib is inlaid in silver ''J.B. REVOL & FILS''. The frame and back action lockplates are embellished with fine quality flowing foliate scrollwork and geometric bordering throughout, the rebounding hammers also tastefully embellished. The forend is a rather stubby old replacement that appears to be elm and is somewhat rudimentarily fitted but obviously done long ago during the period of use. The checkered walnut buttstock remains in good condition as cleaned long ago showing scattered dings and an old repair to a series of moderate old cracks between the right lockplate and upper tang, starting to come undone from the years. The upper tang itself also shows an old brazed repair and the buttstock exhibits some lovely tiger stripe grain figure throughout both sides. The barrels show antique Belgian proof marks and they lock up a bit loose and off-face. The top lever is rather Westley Richards-like and lock-up is by a single underbite. The locks are crisp and seem to function well mechanically with in-time hammers. A desirable New Orleans double with a lot of character. (13B12061-1) {ANTIQUE} (700/900)
