J.W. Tolley shotgun turns out to be a Double Rifle

When searching auctions for good deals, it pays to read past the heading and read the detail description.

This was the case when I saw a heading that read; "J. W. Tolly Rotary-Underlever Hammergun SxS Shotgun 500 Black Powder Express"... but the detail description read; "J.W. Tolley Rotary Underlever 500 Black Powder Express Double rifle"

When the auction ended I was the high bidder at less than 1/2 the low estimate. Take a look .... what do you think?

Very nice. You did well. Please provide a shooting report in due course. Is this your Christmas present to yourself?

Beautiful

SWEET!! If it all checks out, shoot it and enjoy it.
I love my T&L Pryce 500bpe double

With the money you saved, and assuming it is in good shape, get that blacking off the action and have Turnbull do a proper case hardened and colored finish.

I don't think so. I''ll just enjoy it as it is.

Looks like you got a very nice deal. Have fun shooting the old double.

Holding history in your hands makes hunting more enjoyable IMO. Well done. It would be right at home on a Whitetail hunt......FWB
