Old damascus muzzle loader

[gunslinger2017]

Need help indentifiying a very old, very beauitful muzzleloader shotgun.

Apprears to be 16 ga and am uploading a picture. I have never seen anything like it in my life. It is a cap lock and even the locks and hammers are made of damascus. The only thing I found online was the same stock on a muzzleloader that said it was a Apoury french made in the late 1800's.

Any info you have would be greatly appriciated.

If you want any sort of answer to your question, we will need WAY better pictures.

Other than that I see it as a typical percussion shotgun of the post US Civil War era. It was most likely made in Belgium or any one of a half dozen countries that made inexpensive shotguns. Without good, in focus, close up pictures of any proof markings or maker names, that is the best you are going to get.

Old Damascus shotguns are very hard to pin down. There were literally hundreds of places making them from major manufacturers to small unknown shops. They were popular for a long time even after cartridge arms were common place. Prices can be go from $200 to 2000.
