This is a nice original Colt 1878 hammered double barrel 12 gauge shotgun manufactured in 1882 as per the factory letter that is included with gun. This shotgun has great bores I would rate at 8/10 probably even higher but being conservative the Damascus on the barrels is very pleasing with a great swirl and a tight lockup. The stocks appear to be a higher grade walnut and have a great fit and the forearms ebony tip is in great shape. The hammers both work great with good spring tension overall a great collector gun and with black powder ammo may be shootable but recommend your gunsmith approves first I am not one. Asking $3500 may negotiate some for more information or pictures you can message me on here or text or call at 78five-6one4-13six8 thanks for looking.
