Hi, I may have an chance to buy a Patric Mullin muzzle loading shotgun. I've never seen one before,it is a beautiful gun.
The gun is an 8g single barrel percussion gun.The damascuss barrel is huge at the breech and tapers nicely to the muzzle.
I find it odd butt the gun doesn't have a place for a ramrod.
Does anyone know were I can find info on the gun,or a person to contact.I really don't know how to put a value on it.
Thanks Dave

Here is his obit, intersting about the markings denoting guns he made marked"Patrick Mullin" vs guns he finished marked "P Mulln". I wonder if that holds true with some of the other great early american makers. Schaefer,Kirkwood,Etc what do you think??? Ross Obituary

Also interesting the article says his guns were $400-$1000. Id love to see some of the $1000 dollar guns, I bet they were stunning.

Didn't Mullin have a brother who was also a gunmanker, or am I thinking of Kirkwood?

John Mullin [brother?] made muzzleloaders , but I have not seen a breechloader marked by John Mullin.

John Mullin (Patrick's older brother) was in New York @1841-61.
He made Sporting rifles Shotguns and Pistols. Have 2 Cased John.
Mulln 12 G M/L's. Parick showed up @ 1850-probably worked with
John a year or so. Doubt if Patrick's gun were as expensive at
the start. Most likely the quality of his guns were noticed
and demand became greater therfore the price went up. Of the
guns I've seen only two wer mared "Patick Mullin". The others
marked "P Mullin" were Barrell actions fit and finished by
Patrick. Noted by his peers to be the Best. All guns seen
with only screw engaving and not choked. He was The Man and still
is in my book.
