I would be interested to see what the barrel regulation looks like. Not me.

If necessity is the mother of invention this gun is it. Has anyone inspected the photos of this thing at all? It appears the trigger guards are also the springs that power the hammers, it has secondary springs to insure the trigger seers lock up when the hammers are pulled back. The hinge for the barrels are held to the bottom of the barrels by screws threaded through the bottoms of the chambers (scary!). There's no photos of the extractors but I'll bet it doesn't have any, that's what the tool in the butt is for. Since the barrels were probably poached from another shotgun I imagine the regulation is probably okay, that is if you have the balls to even shoot the thing! Still as far as whoever built it, I have to give him credit for originality (LOL).

Looks like a blacksmith wanted to be a gunsmith back on the farm.

The correct name for this beautiful piece of Polish workmanship translates into "WHY BOTHER, JUST THROW ROCKS"

I have discussed this gun with my welder blacksmith, here in Mexico. We will be taking orders for these guns, shortly. Price is yet to be determined. Watch for more news...

It definitely looks homemade. I can't speak for anywhere else, but growing up in Pennsylvania, there were any number of guys on the farm or in the mechanic's shops who, if they got a burr under their saddle, would have made one [like that] just to prove they could.
This gun probably worked just fine in the time when it was made, took a bunch of game, and kept foxes out of henhouses and daughters and their suitors separate. Or together, as the case might have been.

All the gunmaker's guild and all of FEGA's men couldn't make that thing pass for just ugly.
