Snider Cartridge Alteration to a Single-Barrel Percussion Shotgun, or Large Game Gun, NVSN, 20 ga. or .62 cal. slug, 25.75'' round barrel with block-blade front and notched rear sights, marked ''For Ball'' and ''82'' along with numerous proof marks at left breech, has full-length rib underneath that retains the slotted and grooved military-type steel ramrod; other marks at receiver breech may indicate Nepalese ownership; Snider hinged breechblock is marked ''L/6'' with three hash marks inside; flat lockplate with back-action hammer is unmarked; oil-finished hardwood halfstock has steel mountings including single barrel band, one-piece trigger guard and steel shotgun-style buttplate. Condition is very good. Metal surfaces retain no original finishes but polished bright (trigger guard and buttplate are dark gunmetal). Stock is sound and smooth with minor use/handling marks and small losses on top of both sides between barrel band and lock. Action functions well (but hammer nose does not align properly with firing pin); smoothbore is clean showing overall moderate erosion. Est.: $300-$500. (Antique)
