Unique bottom opening H.Scherping Side by Side. I think this gun came over on the Nina,Pinta, or Santa Maria. It’s old. Really old.Engraved from one end to the other, still sharp feeling and crisp. 29 ½” barrels with gold inlayed rings at breech. Right barrel is .728” bore with .693” and Left barrel is .730” with .693” .035”/.037” barrels made by “Sir Joseph Whitworth” “Hanover” Stamped “Nitro” no chamber length stamped on the block. Barrels look smooth and good for age, certainly not like they just came from Wilkinson.
All metalwork on this gun is in pretty good shape. The rear grip screw might have been loosened at one time, the rest of the screws that hold hammers on, bottom opening lever and side plate screws look like they have never been turned.
Wood is possible Turkish Walnut, checkering is 50-60% at best, it looks like it had a leather pad at one time, and possibly a gunsmith added a piece of wood with a plastic butt pad. I don’t think it has been cut any, just the original pad removed. The forearm removes like a top lever on a over under, moves to the side then the forearm comes off. 3500.00 and I will ship to your door. Gun will be at PDX gun club tomorrow for inspections. l.g.

prolly won't search if you're not registered either
best I can tell you is hit the button that puts it in category mode and then go to the for sale stuff. Or just look for it if it is in non-category mode and won't change. The stuff is all arranged chrono and the last post on it was 3/10 so if you look thru all the 3/10 crap it'll be in there somewhere
sorry

It's a stupid site in lots of ways other than how it works too
