Hammer double barrell combination shotgun rifle muzzleloader

Right, I give as good as I get, and I could tell that you very familiar with this kind of gun. OP is you - the Original Poster, and I thought that perhaps you were not in the USA [I'm not] because of your syntax and use of the English language structure - no real use of the positive article, for instance. As a polygIot I tend to pick up on that very quickly, so forgive me if I am wrong.

I had that once. Awful rash but the cream fixed it. Ask your GP

My brother encountered one of those once while hunting, it put up quite a fight and Fred said it got downright western before he sorted it out, LOL!

I've been following this thread for a while and waiting for photos. View attachment 54353As Pietro indicated, proofmarks on the bottom of the barrels of this percussion gun will show whether it is European manufacture. Note that MANY of this type gun were made in the US, especially in New York State such as this one:

as stated there are no proof marks unless theyre under the forearm hidden thanks

This has been extremely helpful to me as well as i have just acquired one of these guns as well that looks just like the one shown in these pictures minus the patchbox and the nosecap is brass instead of pewter. the shotgun is on the left and the rifle on the right. is there much of a value to these type of firearms?

Value? Depending on ones perspective, all guns have some value. Whether collectible, a shooter, or even a wallhanger. Value can be sentimental, historical or financial.

If financial is your question, then value will depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to, overall condition, rarity, and ultimately what someone will pay for it.

Personally I favor shooters and sentimental value.
