Just for discussion....

I just happen to have one like that, do you have any questions about it? Perfect for concealed carry in the 1700's

Not named, rather severe version.

I'm curious. Is the small lever on the side for rotating a cylinder with a hole in it to align with a barrel flash hole to allow each barrel to fire independently or do both barrels fire at once?

According to what I have read, the lever allows you to fire first one, then the other barrel. Let's see if I was right.

This might help. With the tap in this position there is only one hole open. When it is turned, a second one is exposed in the cylinder at the bottom of the pan.

In the picture above, small hole in the bottom of the pan directs the flame to the top barrel, when the lever on the left side is turned it exposes the second pan.
In functioning, note the small *** and hole in the frizzen the slide to the right of the hammer locks the hammer and the *** keeps the frizzen from opening in your pocket.
1, with the gun ready to fire slide the safety to the rear and pull the trigger.
2, recock the hammer and close the frizzen, rotate the lever down and pull the trigger again
I will take a couple more pictures in a bit

I thought don't be lazy, get out the camera and take a picture or two. The first one shows the pan with the lever rotated.

The other shows the lever rotated and the trigger ready for firing.

Frizzen closed safety on, Hammer and frizzen are blocked

Hole for top barrel exposed for the first shot

Bottom barrel hole exposed for second shot

I need to clean the old girl a little it looks like!

 

[Auldjin]

This one needs more than cleaning! It was made by Long of Basingstoke.

I just watched an episode on Pawn Stars that had one with a four barreled one. It shot two barrels at a time

These are super cool! Thanks for sharing!!!

The hammers, barrel selectors etc. all look identical on these. Don't you think they had to be sourcing parts from the same place?
