Original French Tabatière Breech Loading Rifle Converted to Shotgun for African Trade c.1880 Garand & U.S. Rifles Amazing soundOriginal Item: One of a kind. Somewhat romantic, this is a French Tabatire, their equivalent of the Snider Rifle of the 1860s. It was converted after Military use to Single barrel half stocked Shot Guns specifically for the African Trade and selling to the ZULUS. In very neglected and abused condition, from long time storage, this is now JUST A DECORATOR, but may have an interesting history for YOU to create. Tabatire rifles are rare, much more so
