Pedersoli Howdah Pistol 20 Gauge With Case And Accessories
Pedersoli Howdah Hunter 20 Gauge Black Powder Pistol With Presentation Box And Accessories -
With twin barrels packing a one-two wallop, the Howda Hunter big-bore pistol was popular with Europeans exploring the vast jungles of India and Burma in the mid-1800s. On a typical excursion, explorers and soldiers were part of an elephant caravan. Riding on a howdah (the basket perched atop an elephant) may look safe in today's world, but was a different story a century ago – tigers could scale the side of a slow-moving elephant in the blink of an eye. To combat surprise attacks, the Howdah-style side-by-side pistol was created. Two 20-gauge smoothbore barrels can be loaded with buckshot, a single slug or the devastating "buck and ball" load common in big-bore muzzleloaders used on dangerous game. Squeeze one of the triggers, and you'll appreciate the hand-conforming checkered walnut grip and the recoil-soaking end-cap counterweight. Its case-hardened lockplates are engraved with detailed wild-animal scenes. Optional shoulder stock also available. Includes a beautifully crafted, furniture-grade mahogany display case, wooden-handled screwdriver, shotgun-powder measure, brass oil can, Philadelphia powder flask and 20-ga. bullet mold with wooden handles.
Barrel length: 11-1/4".
Overall length: 17-3/4".
Weight: 4-1/2 lbs.
