Watching the guy rotate the hand crank, listening and observing the mechanics of how it works was very cool. What a machine it must have been in its day.

Would have been damned impressive if it was shooting your direction too.

Cool as heck, complete with little bullet impact nick on the 4th barrel of five, a cute little battle scar.
Somebody was shooting back at it, maybe Teddy?
Transferable as if not a firearm at all, and with all that provenance.
Yes, I would love to have one of those to park in the livingroom.

Make up a few rounds of canister, with a pound of 00 each, and you can repel boarders...

Beat the $40,000-$50,000 estimate by quite a bit.
Well worth it.
I would volunteer to be the third party shipper, gratis, just to help get it to its new home, with someone who cares.
Any Bubba with a pickup truck would do it for free just to un-tarp it, on a fair-weather day, to get some "reactions" on the freeway.
It really ought to be in a museum somewhere, like the Frazier in Louisville, KY or the NRA in Fairfax, VA or Bubba's den.

Hopefully either a museum got it or it was bought to donate.

Like any auction, some stuff is doubling estimate, some dropping for half.

Of course, the one I want will probably triple...

This may be the strangest damned thing I've ever heard tale of.

An autoloading break-action single-barrel Iver Johnson shotgun.
