Rollin block

[Draco]

One of my last outings. A rollin block in very bad condition. I think it may be a rollin block manufactured in Eibar (Spain) in 1868
When I get home I will post some more photos.

A couple more photos. If I clean it too much, it falls apart

Those old Rolling Block rifles are fun to experience. Finding one would be awesome!!!

That’s a cool dig.

Someone hid it and after burying it, put some big stones on top.
I had seen some isolated trees on Google maps that gave me a good impression. I marked coordinates on my GPS and went there in the middle of the thicket.
I was not wrong

I am almost positive that is a Break action. A Rolling Block is a distinctly different design. Is it a rifled barrel or open bore of a shotgun?

You are right. It's a shotgun, probably 12 gauge.
When I got home, I took a better look at it, removed the dirt from the inside of the canyon and was able to measure it.
I was carried away by emotion ... and "I saw what it was not"

I've stayed this small ...

In the end, I think I have it.
Manufacturer: Victor Sarasqueta. I have no further information.
