Model 1855 Revolving Shotgun
Courtesy Amoskeag Auction Company
Very much resembles Half Stock Sporting Rifle. Made with 27", 30", 33" and 36" smoothbore barrel. Has a 5-shot cylinder chambered for .60- or .75-caliber (20- or 10-gauge). Case colored hammer and loading lever; rest of metal blued, with an occasional browned barrel noted. Buttstock and fore-end are oil- or varnish-finished walnut. No rear sight and small trigger guard, with the caliber stamped on it. Some have been noted with the large scroll trigger guard; these would add 10 percent to value. Rarest shotgun variation would be a full stocked version in either gauge. Qualified appraisal would be highly recommended. Serial numbered in its own range #1-#1100. Manufactured from 1860-1863.
.60 Caliber (20 gauge)
Slight premium for scroll type triggerguard.
