I have just moved my inlaws from their old home into a new house ....my father inlaw has had this gun since I have known him ,over 30 years ,he never fired it ,and stated he paid $3.00 bucks for it at a factory outlet store here in Vt when he was real young ...he states it's an 11mm (he thinks Mauser) I don't believe he is correct ....then today he said "Queens Ann gun ??? British made ,I truly think he has forgotten what it is ...
Anyhow,I have disassembled the gun ,as it is rather rusty/dirty has has not been taken care of for over 30 years ....stamped on the barrel is "1876" ,a P8,a s/n 329R (all parts are stamped this way),and 1889 on the buttplate ...the stock has a cartouchea circle witha large W,on the left of the w is 18,on the right 77 (1877),above the w is DELFT ????
Overall the gun is in good condition for it's age ,once the parts are cleaned to my satifaction,then i will reassemble the gun .....if it is worth anything at all it would be a miracle ,the only piece missing is the cleaning rod ,so if someone has one for sale I may be interested
Here's some pic's...
Any and all info will be appreciated ...BB34
