Dusty Morningwood Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 SOLD. This is a very solid ANTIQUE Henri Peiper 12 ga. next to 44-40 cape gun. Bores in the 32" barrels are very shootable, with mirror shotsun side and shiny rifle side, with minor pitting. They are marked w/Pieper address dated 1881. Barrels retain plumb blue finish w/light spotting overall. Rifle bore is a little bigger than standard .429 found on most .44-40 guns (about .432). I suspect that European loads were for paper patch bullets. Buffalo Arms sells a Hollow base bullet that should work if you don't want to paper patch. The receiver retains some original case colors. Stock is a nice European Walnut with sharp checkered wrist. Some dings to checkering. The forestock is a handmade replacement. I will include a better replacement that just needs more solid fitting to metal. Overall a good example of a desirable early combination gun. Comes with set of dies (on the way). $650 + Shipping to your door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
