1820's CT Little 10ga Shotgun

A couple years ago I bought this shotgun and took a ton of detailed pics and sent it off to track of the wolf and let them tell me what it was and what year it was made.

They came back, an early 1820's flint to percussion converion, english made 10ga shotgun by CT Little. Some one had recently restored it, pinned any broken areas. Did a super job on it, and it shot great! The percussion conversion was done in the early 1840's and uses a tiny ( way smaller than #10 cap ) percussion cap.

She shot great, even out to 50 yards, it was a turkey slayer.

I ended up selling it to my buddy that wanted it, so I enjoyed it while I had it and made sure to keep all the pics.













50 yards


And yes, This is one that I kind of regret selling.

Lovely! My T-C Pennsylvania Hunter looks similar to that. I had one for which I had a 20 gauge barrel made, then sold it but that's another story. 'Course it didn't
have the forearm cap, entry pipe or Hawkin style trigger guard. Hmm, I may have to make some modifications to the one I have now....
