And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Probably a paradox gun, a shotgun with rifling in the last few inches of the barrel to stabilize the bullet. Note the sight leaves on the rib that are folded down.
Wow. I had never hoid of such a thing. How do those leaves work? Are they adjustable for elevation such as flipping the peep sights on other long guns? I notice the leaves appear to be different sizes.
Back in the 70's Dad had a Holland and Holland 10 gauge double with the full brass shells. I shot it once when I was 16. After that I wanted no part of shooting that gun again.
Yessir!

ReplyDeleteNice antique but antique ammo should be emptied or properly disposed of, never fired.
