John Gunderson Antique Militaria
European copy of a Sharps .32 caliber four barrel pepperbox

Please click the image for a larger version
European unmarked four barrel pepperbox, modeled after the Sharps & Hankins model. Bore of about .32 of 7.5 mm caliber. 3-1/4" barrels. Differs from the Sharps design in that it has a tip-up barrel cluster for loading, rather than sliding. Metal parts are a light gray, having been cleaned, with light pinprick pitting. Wood grips are worn with a ding on the right side, and are free of cracks and chips. Mechanically good, sold as a collector item only, not warranted safe to shoot.
