For extreme length, I have a Belgian 10-gauge single-barrel pinfire, with a 49.7 inch false-damascus barrel. The gun itself is unmarked as to the maker, but the barrel has Auguste Francotte markings, and from the proofs and inspection marks it would to date from around 1880-1890. This would appear to be a gun for shooting over or through a wooden stalking horse at sitting waterfowl. Not a gun you’d want to swing!
