"Handcrafted Shotgun With Cavalry Rifle Barrel - Folk Art Of The Vosges, 188"
Handcrafted shotgun with cavalry gras rifle barrel - Folk art of the Vosges, 1880 68cm barrel of cavalry gras rechambered smooth. It has kept its original rear sight and front sight. Percussion lock. Good mechanism. The hammer screw is missing. Stock entirely carved with a house in the forest, oak and acorns, a deer and a bear's head. Brass counter lock plate engraved "Mangin forestier 1880". Acquired in Epinal, I therefore think of a folk work of the Vosges. A beautiful work, reflecting the poetry of our countryside.
