Introducing the classic Unknown Belgium SXS shotgun, an embodiment of rich history and outstanding craftsmanship. This 12 Gauge, side by side, break-action shotgun may show signs of extensive use, but its allure is undeniable for anyone with a taste for nostalgia. Its fair condition is a testament to its history and enduring design, speaking volumes of its resilience and robustness.
Despite the worn state, this SXS shotgun's functionality remains intact. It's worth noting that the manufacturer's name has worn off due to age and usage, the metal shows signs of heavy pitting, and the stock is heavily worn. This sale includes the shotgun as is, adding to its authenticity and charm.
The SXS model dates back to the late 19th and early 20th century, a time when they were the hunting firearm of choice. The break-action mechanism allows for quick and easy reloading, making it a practical choice even today. The blued finish, a common method of treating steel, not only lends the shotgun a pleasing aesthetic but also protects against rust. With a capacity of two rounds, one for each barrel, this shotgun allows for a quick second shot without reloading.
Originating from Belgium, this SXS shotgun holds a 2-3/4" chamber, a wooden stock and forend with a checkered grip, a front bead sight, and a length of pull measuring 14". The 25.75" barrel length ensures precision in every shot. Though the bore condition is poor, it does not take away from the nostalgia and the craftsmanship that this piece boasts.
