This rifle must weigh maybe 2 pounds. It is very very light. Single shot smooth bore fowler for light game (birds, squirrels).
I got this one a while back and forgot about it. Damascus barrel (stripes!) All original.
It is a Emile Laport. I'm working with an expert in these fowlers, and he is going to tell me shortly when it was made. But must be late 1890's.
