Lancaster Four Barrel Shotgun - 28 ga.

Lancaster, who manufactured four barrel rifles, pistols, and shotguns, produced this .440 bore or 28 gauge piece offering double the firepower of a standard side-by-side.  Charles Lancaster started as a barrel maker in London's Drury Lane in 1811, producing barrels for Joseph Manton and others.  By 1826, his firm had moved to 151 New Bond Street and had received a royal appointment to Albert the Prince Consort.
