Product Description
A.G. RADEAKE Belgian WARNANT-FLOBERT Type SHOOTING GALLERY/Parlor Rifle C&R
Boy-Sized Single Shot Carnival Gun!
Here we present a Belgium made A.G. Radeake Marked Flobert Style Gallery Rifle, made circa 1893 to the early 20th century in Liege, Belgium. Belgium has been a center of gun-making for a very long time and so there have been a large number of gun makers, many with patents registered in Belgium and Britain. One of the lesser known of the Belgian gun makers was Jean Warnant. Though this gun is unmarked, aside from “A.G. Radeake” marked on a brass plate, this is the style of Flobert Rifle he was known to have made.
Gallery rifles were very popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These would be set up in drinking establishments, at carnivals and even in people’s houses. Most floberts used ammunition that only used the primer as the propellant. These were very low velocity firearms and cartridges, making them relatively safe and quiet.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape with a light shimmer. The forend mounting screw is missing allowing it to separate from the barrel. Liege proofed. This example has a nice brown patina. “AG RADEAKE” is inscribed on the wrist plaque, which is likely the original owner.
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
Barrel is 24 inches.
Caliber: 5mm Rimfire
