z Sold Jannsen Sons & Co. Model 1889 SxS Hammer shotgun 10 gauge

A 10 Ga. Jannsen Sons & Co. Model 1889  Coach Gun / Saw off shot gun / Street Howitzer / Scatter Gun.  Used by stagecoach companies, express companies, bank guards, jail and prison guards for the formidable and terrorizing effects that they could bring to bear. Also popular among Marshals and Sheriffs for their mobility and lenient accuracy at close quarters. The feel and action of this legendary Old West tool will transport you back to the time, when your trusty shotgun was your last and best line of defense. Features 20", barrels and a overall length of 36".  Lock up is tight and secure. Metal butt plate and the stock is sound, with no cracks or chips.  The wood generally shows many nicks and scratches from the days when it was treated only as a tool.   The metal has no original finish, but is not rusted or pitted. The barrel rib is marked "Belgium Laminated Steel". The bores are pitted as all blackpowder shotguns of this era, but both actions work perfectly. This is a fun to shoot, we recommend that you use ammo from a re-loader that loads to 19th century specifications. There are no dents in the bores.
