As it says, i have ventured in a place I would never a thought I would be. Possible pictures later when I can. It's the only gun I have bought without knowing the caliber. I think it is a .500 BPE but shorter. I have wanted a double rifle since seeing the black and white jungle movies and with Uncle Sam's assistance I now have one. I know nothing about double rifles but I am ok with what I bought. It's a hammer double made by Thomas Turner from England supposedly made around 1875. .50 caliber. No caliber indication. A couple of proof marks and a 39 stamped on bottom of barrels. I am going to get the chamber cast. I enjoy feeling the history in old arms.
