Perhaps the richest and most beautiful gun from the last phase of Boutet\u2019s long career, this firearm was made by him after the Restoration of the monarchy in France in 1815. Its exuberant decoration is reminiscent of the style fashionable before the revolution in 1789. The gun was so appreciated by its owner that, in 1860, he commissioned a group of skillful gunmakers to produce a similarly decorated set of barrels and locks using percussion caps, an advanced method of ignition developed after 1820.Free picture Double-barreled flintlock shotgun with exchangeable percussion locks and barrels integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
