An interesting over-and under-barreled percussion gun by Bernardino Dauria dating: 1840 provenance: Naples, Smoothbore, two-stage, 17 mm cal barrels, octagonal at the first part and then round, with moulded rings at the girdle. Iron tang with traces of floral engravings. Finely engraved miquelet locks, with engraved and pierced cock bridles; signed "Bernardino / Dauria 1840". Carved wooden stock featuring an unusual and elaborately sculpted elephant's head, the cheekpieces decorated with floral motifs in relief. Fine engraved brass mounts, the two barrel bands also featuring pierced decorations. The barrel band near the nozzle also fitted with a front sight. Antique iron side-mounted ramrods, fitted with worms and long, conical dark wooden tips with iron heads. In patina. Small damaged parts and signs of age. For Bernardino D'Auria, see Bruno Barbiroli, Repertorio Storico degli Archibugiari Italiani, Bologna, 2012, p. 208, where the author, in his commentary, likely refers to the very firearm offered here.
