This is a fascinating double barreled shotgun, originally made as a very rare Jacob's Double Barrel Rifled Cavalry Carbine. This somewhat outlandish rifle carbine was designed by the larger than life British General John Jacob of the Indian Army. He had intended it to be a highly accurate and useful weapon, however it unfortunately fell short of expectations. It was first introduced in 1854 intended for South Africa.
