Single Shot Breech Loader

That rifle is an odd one. Looks like a Belgian Made Flobert/Warnant. It is a breech loading single shot, likely a .32 caliber. The trigger guard is a nice style.

What's the deal with the gun?

Probably used it to shoot fowl balls.

I'd say...it's almost lunchtime, and no one can quite remember when the season for photographers starts.
You can only bag them in months that have an "R" in the name, guys.

These guys didn't mess around.
