Description: | This is a double-barrelled shotgun made by Gardner. It has flintlocks, which were common up to the mid-1800s. The flint is gripped between the 'jaws' on top of the hammer. When the trigger is pulled, the flint strikes the plate in front and produces a spark. This falls into the little pan on the side of the barrel and ignites the small powder charge in it. This in turn ignites the charge in the barrel. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East small business made in the North East sport | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
