Berman Museum of World History is proud to partner with
Shotgun Sports Supply Company in presenting


Berman Museum Gun of the Month
This month's featured weapon:
The Howdah Pistol

Named after the passenger-carrying saddles mounted to the backs of elephants, howdah pistols were used to ward off large predators, such as tigers, as the British officials and officers traveled through India during their reign of the country during late 19th and early 20th Centuries. These .50-.60 caliber pistols were usually double-barreled in the side-by-side or over-and-under design offering the shooter an additional shot if the first one missed. This example is an over-and-under barreled .50 caliber from London.






Drop by  Shotgun Sports Supply Company  at 1414 US Highway 431, Anniston ,  and marvel at these unique weapons that reflect changing ideas on engineering and technology through the ages.
