Very nice, Geno, thanks for posting. What about the barrels? They look to have a hammered finish, but may be damascus that is not showing up clearly with the reflections. The proportions of the barrels to the breech area are amazing. It is one big bore double on which the barrels do not look "too big for the action". What is the nationality of Tecshner, or is it Teschner? It is a beautiful gun.

A true rarity. I wonder where he procured ammo? The tubes weren't carded or worked smooth. You can actually feel the effect the acid had on the iron vs. the steel. Rigby offered them at one time and there was also a Germanic or Austrian version. Georg Teschner was German and Wilhelm Collath acquired his shop.
Kind Regards,

I am sure it must be as Geno says, but the scale of the gun does not appear to be 8 gauge.

If the stamp is Teschner's bore/gauge number it would be a 28 bore; 0 was 10 bore and 8 was 28 bore with the others staggered in between.

Geno,
Is it known who the gun was made for? Obviously royalty of some sort of from the crown, but..?? What else is known about it? Thanks for sharing the pics.
kind regards, tw

Sure doesn't look like an eight gauge, Geno.

Yep, right, Teschner got his own caliber scale and 8 meant 28G, but why there are bears and boar engraved, maybe it was double rifle? Barrels made of Turkish damascus
