Description
Something different.
French chassepot 1866 rifle converted in Belgium to a single shot bolt action 12b.
Apparently lots of these rifles were converted around the turn of the 19c into shotguns for the
Domestic market.
This one has been embellished by some previous owner with various polished brass items.
An unusual piece that still does what it's supposed to do but is not really suitable for your next driven day!
A good conversation piece, working shotgun.
