Pedersoli Old English Maple

Side by side with maple stock with an escutcheon and an engraved capbox of typical English school. This last accessory, frequently found on the Whitworth and Henry Match Rifles and on the military rifled side by side guns of Swinburn & Son and of John Jacob ,who was a general of the British army, famous for his studies about the accuracy in the target shooting during the first half of the eighteen century. Thanks to the design simplicity and the practical use, the capbox became familiar on hunting shotguns too. The barrels are rust brown finish colour and are made with a slender shape to obtain lighter weight than those normally fitted to a standard muzzle loading side by side shotgun, giving the gun a slim and very elegant look. The engraved locks are case hardened finish.
