- Lot Description
An unusual handmade tribal percussion long gun, probably of Filipino origin 19th to early 20th century. Constructed with a simple wooden stock secured by thin iron barrel bands, the piece features a distinctive external hammer fashioned from what appears to be water buffalo horn. The lock mechanism is highly unconventional, lacking a trigger despite the presence of an iron trigger guard. Operation appears to be by manually drawing back the horn hammer against spring tension and releasing it to strike a percussion cap. This is an intriguing firearm representing a little-studied tradition of ethnographic gunsmithing.
Dimensions: 36.5" long overall, 21" barrel.
