    SOLD

    First up is an antique Hardy & Company of London double barrel SXS shotgun. Looks to be about 12ga, although I could not get a modern plastic shotshell to fit in the chambers. I'm sure the older paper cased shells would work fine. Most likely for black powder loads as the barrel is marked "Laminated Steel". No other information or serial number is marked on the gun. Gun is in OK shape, not much bluing left and there's some rust on the outside of the left barrel. Wood has some dings and scratches, but no cracks or other repairs that I can see.

    Although this was a wall hanger for many years, everything seems to function on it just fine. I have NOT fired it, but both hammers and triggers work, both firing pins move, ejector moves, and the barrel lock functions.

    Would make an awesome restoration project for a historian, or another wall hanger or prop for the garage.

    SOLD

    Will ship- no

    Unknown age and since it still uses shotshells,must meet at FFL

    Up next is a black powder double barrel SXS shotgun. Very little maker's information on this one other than Made In Spain on the barrel. Lots of proof marks on the sides and tops of barrels. Wood is in good shape, no cracks and appears to have been checkered. Barrels are also in good shape with lots of the bluing still intact. Packing rod is tucked nicely under the barrels. Trap door on stock opens and closes. Both hammers and trigger work.

    I know nothing about BP firearms, but it does appear that whoever shot it last didn't clean it up so good. The barrel has some crud in it. This was a wall hanger and the barrels were full of dust. I ran a dry plastic brush down the barrels it clean out the dust and saw some other crud still in the barrels. I don't know if a good scrubbing is what it needs to clean it up, or if there's some other special cleaner you use on BP firearms. I'm selling it as it. If nothing else, this would be another good wall hanger or parts gun for something else.

    SOLD
