These Punt Guns were designed to kill a large quantity of birds with one shot for commercial harvesting in the19th and early 20th centuries. The Punt Gun derives its name from the small boats to which it was mounted, were usually custom designs that widely varied, and could kill over 50 waterfowl resting on the surface of the water in single shot.

Fine overall. The barrel and breech retain 90% grey painted finish. The breech block discolored externally and retaining 40% original faded casehardened finish internally. The lock plate and peg mount are discolored. Oak tiller with numerous storage and handling marks and blemishes. Two small stock retaining screws replaced. Mechanically very good.
