Two 20 gauge barrels! Classic large caliber double barrel pistol in the English gunsmith school style, used at close range to stop tigers which commonly leaped upon elephants carrying hunters in a Howdah in the far away colonial territories.

Engraved locks featuring wide animals in their natural habitat, case hardened colour finish. The walnut pistol grip stock is checkered and finished with a steel butt cap.
