Serial No. 1125. Early 1830s - 1840s. Belgium. Highly unusual turret gun in which the gun is cocked using right side lever and does not have an exposed hammer.

The cylinder is period replacement and the stock was redone a long time ago. 10 shot magazine. Most of the original blue finish albeit freckling, is on the barrel. Rifling is strong and clean. Wood is high gloss finish and free of cracks. English export market gun and never seen this side of the pond.
