Description: | inscription, engraved, W.R. PAPE
This is a single-barrelled shotgun made by W.R. Pape, a Newcastle gunmaker. It has a percussion lock. When the trigger is pulled, the hammer strikes down, producing a spark which ignites the charge in the barrel. To load the gun, the powder and the bullet are rammed down the barrel with the ramrod, which is then slotted into rings underneath the barrel.
