Alex Salmon 8 Ga Hammer Gun, 36" Barrels.
Originating from the United Kingdom circa 1920, this side-by-side black powder hammer gun reflects the height of traditional British heavy-bore craft and versatile utility. Built around a robust rotary underlever action, the design was engineered to provide peerless strength and dependable service under the stoutest black powder charges.
This impressive 8-gauge example presents in excellent condition, featuring a straight English walnut stock with right-hand cast, double triggers, and manual safety. Fitted with 35-inch barrels cut with 3½-inch chambers and standard extractors, the metalwork and woodwork retain clean, well-preserved lines throughout.
Mechanically, the rotary underlever locks up tight on face, and both external hammers cock with crisp, authoritative precision. Accompanied by approximately 50 empty reloading shells, this historic big-bore piece is exceptionally well suited for the discerning collector or enthusiast.
