I just finished reading "After Big Game in Central Africa" by Edouard Foa about his safari from around 1893 to 1897. In the book he says he has a "Winchester fouling piece in 12 gauge, 6 shots". Anybody have any idea which shotgun this would be? _________________________________ AR, where the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history become the nattering nabobs of negativisim. | ||

I think I found the answer to my question, the Winchester 1893 pump action shotgun for black powder loads. Could it have been anything else? _________________________________ AR, where the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history become the nattering nabobs of negativisim. | |||

It was the forerunner of the 1897 and is likely that one. | |||

Could also have been the Winchester 1887 Lever action that was black powder only in 12 and 10 guage. I am not sure of the capacity however.
