TRIPLE BARRELED shotgun

Gus · 06-20-2012, 03:54 PM

TRIPLE BARRELED shotgun from 1891. The gun was built by Edinburgh gun makers John Dickson & Son

Anyone familiar with this shotgun?

I can't recall ever having seen one before.

I bet all three going off at once

Would be something to remember

From the shooters point anyway

From the guy on the other end

He wouldn't remember nothing

Pretty thing, probably a bit heavy too.
Wonder if it qualifies as a "Drilling?"

Most barrels I've seen on a Drilling were seven.
Heavy SOB!

Wow. Like to see more of that.
I have seen pics of a 4 shot double barrel from England, I think.

Here is a little more info on this shotgun.

'The gun maker, which still exists in Edinburgh, looked back in their records and found this was the only single 16-bore, round action side by side by side ejector ever made.

Wow! An absolute one of a kind!

43,000 pounds? That thing will only go up in price!
Glad it wasn't destroyed in the Aussie gun roundup!

I'll give you $100 for it.

Rew · 06-21-2012, 07:10 AM

Well if it was a 12 or even 20 I'd give $150 for it. But 16 maybe $50.

Ya know, I got expenses,it will sit here in the shop,limited market,I have to make money,

I think a side by side 12 with a 20 or .410 centered underneath would be very desirable, but I really don't use shotguns at all. It would be a curio at most.

The one in the OP would best grace a tycoon's collection in a humidity controlled glass case. Too valuable for much of anything else.

I do use shotguns. Which is kind of strange, I guess, since I was called a rifleman for years

. I would really like a drilling, SxS 12 with a 30-06 below. But I'd have to sell one of the grandkids. Of course a SxS 30-06 with a 12 below would be really cool too.

I like it.

Very classy. I love round actions.

The Austrian gunmakers in Ferlach typically make a lot of drillings, virlings and other multi-barrel guns.
