Description: | This is a double-barrelled shotgun made by W.R. Pape of Newcastle. Its firing mechanism is inside, not outside the barrel as with percussion locks. To load it, the gun is opened at the breach, where the barrels and the stock are joined, and cartridges are inserted. The gun is finely decorated with engraved leaves and flowers. | 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 makers | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
