12 gauge, 28.375" barrel, no S/N. Blued finish, figured walnut stock with shotgun butt. Small plate on top of receiver marked S.H. ROPER. Solid frame, four-shot cloverleaf cylinder that is loaded and unloaded by withdrawing the arbor pin from the forend and removing the cylinder from the gun. Despite the description in Flayerman's the gun appears to use a manually rotated cylinder with the forward trigger cocking the hammer and the rear trigger firing the gun. Muzzle with screw adjustable choke and bead sight. Forend with horn tip. According to Flayderman's only 25 of these cloverleaf pattern revolving shotguns were produced, making them extremely rare. Condition: Very good. Retains some thinning blue on the barrel and frame, markings clear, bore fine. Mechanically functional in terns of firing and manual cylinder rotation. Stock with scattered bumps and dings and a tight grain crack through the wrist that has spidered on the reverse. Forend tip missing a chip on the obverse.
