The Howdah Pistol is a reproduction of the famous Auto & Burglar model made by Ithaca Company around 1920. This modern version features rifled barrels chambered for .45LC/.410 (3 inch shells) and it is sold as a pistol. The Vintage Howdah features: case hardened steel frame, browned finish octagonal barrels, external hammers, manual shell extractors, flip-up rear sight with brass bead front sight, and a walnut stock. The action works by cocking the external hammers when the action is closed and it has double triggers to select which barrel to fire (front trigger for the right barrel and rear trigger for the left barrel). The forend piece and barrels disassemble like a traditional side by side shotgun.
