Lot #1175:
(A) INTERESTING PERCUSSION ALARM OR CEMETERY GUN.
This highly unusual percussion trap or alarm gun is designed to hang vertically, mounted on a pair of nail slots, and is fired when the plunger next to the barrel is depressed. It can also be fired by setting the spring loaded plunger with a pin (not included) to be set off with a trip line or lanyard. Rather well made with steel components and a wooden body. Plunger and spring are brass. CONDITION: Very Good. Overall speckled gray patina. Wood has some scattered impressions. Fine mechanics.
Caliber/Bore
.45 Smoothbore
