Lot of Two (2) Antique European (likely Belgian) Percussion Shotguns: (1) Single barrel, NVSN, approx. 8 ga., 33'' octagon-to-round iron barrel marked ''B297'' on right angled flat; ''B297'' also appears on beveled iron lockplate. Brass triggerguard and buttplate (both also marked ''B297''), brass sideplate opposite lock. European hardwood fullstock with single iron barrel wedge.

(2) SXS double barrel, NVSN, 16 ga., 32'' round barrels with pin front sight, iron furniture including floral engraved locks, triggerguard, buttplate and two ramrod ferrules (sling ring on lower). Varnished hardwood stock with metal tag tacked to right butt, with brass-tipped hardwood ramrod. Condition is fair with non-matching hammers and leather reinforcement wrap at wrist.
