Any ideas ?

Post by Silk#2 »

Anyone know what this is? Its hanging in my buddies parents basement/cabin. His step father just passed and they don't know anything about it any info would be helpful! I couldn't get good pics the mounts are scred into the wall and I didn't want to impose. Thank you in advance!

Possibly a W.E. Robbins..looks kinda that way. Did it have a maker on it? It should be marked on one or both of the barrels. Could be any caliber and maybe a smooth bore or one rifled and one smooth :D

Nice, looks in solid shape too.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Thanks will have to see if they will let me take it down and check. I didn't want to impose. But I loved the look of it.

Not sure about the time but most were around 1830 ish. There are modern ones also though. :thumbsup:
