BidProwl Summary
This is a Belgian-converted Tulle Arsenal 12 gauge trap door shotgun from an 1867 French musket with a 25.75 inch smooth bore barrel and period correct hardware, showing good condition with normal finish wear and scratches. Collectors of antique military conversions and firearm historians typically pursue these Snider-type actions for preservation, display, or scholarly research rather than shooting use. Before bidding verify bore darkness and pitting severity in photos, confirm the safety lock mechanism functions, inspect brass bands and buttplate for cracks, and confirm no FFL requirement actually applies since regulations vary by jurisdiction and condition matters.

“Collector”! Converted from French arsenal Tulle muskets circa 1867 with blued smooth bore barrels with Belgian proof marks and cartouches. The action is similar to the British Snider Conversion with back action lock dogs head hammer and side lock plate has faded engraving of the original manufacturer “ Mre Imp. de Tulle” on the right side of the receiver. The firing pin can be turned to lock and prevent discharging a round if carried loaded. It has a full length smooth straight stock with a steel buttplate, brass barrel bands with a blade front sight on the first band, brass under barrel cleaning rod, and a steel trigger and guard. There is some finish wear and some scratches from normal use. Please see photos. Antique No FFL Needed
