Thread: Tell me about this gun

@Cowboy

Tupara was the Maori name given to double barrel muzzle loading shot guns.

So yes this is a Tupara.

Other than that it's a very interesting story.

I wonder how it came to be in the swamp in the first place?

Yeah, was a known battle area apparently. He lived in kaikohe but had family throughout the farms of the north.
