That's not a missspell...Does anybody know anything about this double barrel shotgun? Two triggers and two external hammers.

There were thousands of brands of shotgun out there, and some makers would put any name one wanted on their products. Never heard of this one.

Note, do yourself a favor and do not fire this until it's been checked out by a qualified smith. Old hammer guns almost always have Damascus bbls and short chambers, oft for the old and obsolete 2 1/2" shell.
Touching off a modern shell in one of these could be akin to holding a live grenade at arm's length and pulling the pin.

However, if all's well, this could be a nice piece for birds, clays or that Cowboy Action Shooting stuff.Use light loads and enjoy.
