Double Barrel Caucasian Miquelet Khirimi

[cyten]

A few years ago, an interesting Khirimi was sold at auction in the USA. A double barrel gun, the first I've seen or heard of.

I have now come across another example from a private collection in Sweden. Strange enough is a double barrel Khirimi, but this only uses one miquelet lock. I assume it touches off both barrels simultaneously?

If there are other known examples, I would love to know.

It looks as if the steel is split in two. I wonder if there are two pans and each is supposed to be primed separately, thus giving you two shots.
Just an idea.

This is certainly a possibility, and there is another example of a one lock/double barrel from the Caucasus
