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!

Dinner Recipe: Grilled Ham Burgers
Servings: 8
Taste of Home ~ Step by Step Detailed Instructions
My family loves my ham loaf, so I decided to make the ham loaf mixture into patties and grill them—it was an instant hit. Adding the arugula gives these burgers a peppery bite and honey mustard dressing adds just the right sweet and sour flavor.
Recipe by: Susan Bickta ~ Kutztown, Pennsylvania
-
Ingredients:
- 1-1/2 pounds fully cooked boneless ham
- 3/4 pound ground pork
- 2 large eggs
- 2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened crushed pineapple plus 3 tablespoons juice
- 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 8 slices Swiss cheese (1 ounce each)
- 8 kaiser rolls, split
- 2 large tomatoes, cut in sixteen 1/4-inch slices
- 1/2 cup honey mustard salad dressing
- 1-1/2 cups fresh baby arugula, packed
- Additional honey mustard salad dressing, optional
- Pulse ham in food processor until finely ground. Combine with pork, eggs, cracker crumbs, brown sugar, pineapple and juice, mustard and cloves. Mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 8 patties. Using fingertips, make a shallow indentation in center of each patty so it remains flat while grilling. Refrigerate 1 hour.
- Grill burgers, covered, on a greased rack over medium-high direct heat for 5-6 minutes; turn and grill another 3-4 minutes. Add 1 slice cheese to each burger; grill, covered, until cheese melts, 1-2 minutes more. Remove from heat when a thermometer reads 160°.
- Place a burger on bottom half of each roll; add 2 tomato slices. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon honey mustard dressing. Divide arugula evenly among rolls; top each burger with a few sprigs. Replace top half of roll. If desired, serve with additional dressing.

- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
- 1/3 cup cold water
- 1 cup sour cream

- 1 cup coarsely crushed amaretti cookies (about 16 cookies)
- Optional toppings: Fresh mint leaves, Bing cherries and additional crushed amaretti cookies
- In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand 1 minute. Heat and stir over low heat until gelatin is completely dissolved. Let stand 5 minutes.
