Double-Barreled Percussion Shotgun

Double-Barreled Percussion Shotgun. Barrelsmith: Léopold Bernard (French, Paris, active 1832-70). Culture: French, Paris. Dimensions: L. 46 3/5 in. (118.4 cm); L. of barrel 29 1/8 in. (73.9 cm). Gunsmith: Louis Perrin (French, Paris, active 1823-65). Date: dated 1854. This is presumably the "richly decorated gun" said to have been exhibited by Perrin in 1855 at the Exposition Universelle in Paris and again in 1862 at the International Exhibition in London. Undoubtedly Louis Perrin's masterpiece, this shotgun is one of the most ambitious firearms of its period. The butt, pierced and carved in the round with the figure of a medieval hunter, reflects the lingering influence of the Gothic revival. The silver mounts are of extraordinary quality, notably the buttplate with its graceful figure of a Native American.
