A Funk(y) cape gun

[Dusty_Traveler]

The Tulsa arms spring show was this past weekend. Did some trading with a fellow a few tables down from mine and was able to come home with a Christoph Funk SXS cape gun, built in Suhl. In my opinion, it is in really good condition. Both bores are .58 caliber, with the rifle having 8 deep grooves and a fast twist. The rifle trigger is a single set. Everything functions like it should. Even the safeties are there.

It is short, light, and handles very well. Ordered some #11 nipples for it this morning. This ought to be very handy in the woods.

That should be a fun gun and useful for about everything from squirrels to moose.

What is the piece between the hammer and the fence?

Those are safeties. They prevent the hammer from falling all the way upon the cap.
