This is really a nice old boot gun. The springs are strong and the mechanisms work wonderfully. The caliber for this little beast is right at 45, so even though the gun is only 7 1/2 inches from tip to tail, it sure would have packed a punch. The Liege of Belgium marking can be seen on the left frame side, just forward of the engraved lock plate. The hammer has two clicks and the drop trigger drops when it should and then snaps back up and out of site after firing with just a little nudge. I don't think this gun was cleaned or messed with at all in almost one hundred and fifty years. It certainly is a fine example of what soldiers in the Civil War commonly called, Boot guns, because a lot of them kept one like this loaded and tucked away inside their boot just in case. Great patina, tight grip, great old gun.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a true antique, pre 1898 black powder firearm and as such is considered a collectible antique under Federal Law. Please be aware that some states have differing laws pertaining to old firearms. You are responsible to know the laws of your state of residence before purchasing this or any other antique weapon. Thank you. |
