Interesting Bolt Action Shotgun marked "The Needle Gun" in 12 GA with a 34" barrel. Bolt handle marked with maker's name illegible and Lyon (France). Similar styling to Dreyse and circa about 1860s. Brown patina finish. Good wood stock. The action is not cocking properly and the needle is broken or removed. The needle fire was short lived between percussion and center fire and this a scarce to rare example made for American market.Missing front sight bead. (Antique) Est.: $500-$1000
