Interesting Husqvarna Swedish Cape Gun

This gun was sourced in the Mid-West of the USA and no doubt travelled with a Scandinavian immigrant to provide food and defence for his family.
This is an interesting Husqvarna Cape gun insofar as it is not chambered in the usual 16 Gauge on the Shotgun barrel but in 20 Gauge. The rifled barrel is chambered in 9.3 mm Mauser. The 20 Gauge smooth bore doesn’t surprise me as the Swedes had a propensity to use a 20 Gauge equivalent solid ball in a rolling block for Moose Hunting.
The gun has a Lefaucheu action with two cross levers, one to open for access to the breech and the other to disassemble the gun.
This gun has a mirror like smooth bore and an excellent rifled barrel with deep rifling. The hammers are rebounding, an action design originally developed by John Stanton in 1867

This would make an excellent wild boar gun with some history behind it. The wood is excellent and the metal fore end was designed for low maintenance. The gun is tight and mechanically sound and the three rear flip up sights, typical of Cape guns is still extant. The gun balances wonderfully and has a sling point for carrying in the field. The ejectors are manual.
An interesting and unusual gun as it is not featured on the excellent skydevaaben list of all Husqvarna civilian models, at least not in 20 Gauge. Feel free to ask for further details.
