It reminds me of those firearms used by sailor types to ward off aggressors / pirates.
I wonder how the triggers work?

It is a side by side by side.
There was one doing the rounds a few year ago, can't remember where I saw it probably an auction catalogue, think it was by a Scottish gun maker.
It is unusual having all three barrels in the horizontal plane as they are more commonly stacked triangularly like drilings. Whatever it is it wouldn't have been a cheap gun and would no doubt be worth a pretty penny today.
Bore? Might be a 16 as I assume they would want to do anything to keep the weight down to keep handiness without loosing too much shot weight but hard to tell from the photo.
Its a sidelever action by the looks of it.
Lovely gun but it does feel as though you've had few nippy sweeties when you look at it. :shock:
Not sure I'd want to pay whatever its worth now for a curiosity gun.

Edwinson Green, Westley Richards, Boss, Dickson are all three barrel guns that were made and sold, in small numbers. This may be a 20 bore Dickson. Most had a single trigger for the first two barrels and a separate trigger for the third. The Dickson round action patent was originally conceived for a three barrel gun.

That is definitely (99% sure) a Dickson Round Action in 16 gauge - 28" barrels and fitted with ejectors and if I remember three triggers (two articulated). It was built in the 1890s and I have actually handled it.

I think its called cheating!
I love to see these weird and wonderful designs. There always seems to be someone that will push the limits (or in some cases crash right through!!)
