Description: | W.R. PAPE
W.R. PAPE NEWCASTLE ON TYNE WINNER OF LONDON GUN TRIALS IN 1858, 1859 & 1866
This is a double-barrelled shotgun made by W.R. Pape, a Newcastle gunmaker. It has a trigger to fire each barrel, pinfire hammers and an underlever action for loading. When a trigger is pulled, the hammer strikes a pin protruding from the cartridge which ignites a primer inside the cartridge. This ignites the charge. The engraved lockplates show a dog, which is appropriate for a hunting weapon.
