1857 Tabatiere Breech-loading Shotgun
Frequently known as “Zulu”.
Own the original!
This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Here we present a Tabatiere Breech-loading Shotgun, frequently known as “Zulu”. The origin of this shotgun is an interesting one. Originally, this was an 1857 French musket. Soon after they converted these muzzleloaders to breech-loaders, using the Snider system, so that they became known as the System 1867. They were used in the Franco-Prussian War in which the French were defeated. By the end of the war, the French decided that the converted muskets were unacceptable and once again updated their arsenals, this time with the 1874 Gras. Being that there was no military use for these surplus guns as they were, a Belgian gunmaker, Bertrand & Fils, had the idea to convert these (for a second time) into shotguns.

This lube is made with actual bear oil! No gimmicks! Anyone else that sells a bear lube, normally fills the can with either paraffin or beeswax and adds a tiny bit of bear oil. We do not use any waxes, but a blend of our best selling anti rust ingredients and bear oil. This is a great COLD weather lube as well!

I try to incorporate nutritious sweet potatoes in meals as often as possible, especially with breakfast. I came up with this recipe to feed my family a healthy, hearty breakfast—and it worked!
Recipe by: Jeanne Larson ~ Rancho Santa Margarita, California

Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter

- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach
