TEDDY ROOSEVELT’S DOUBLE-BARRELED SHOTGUN

Teddy Roosevelt was the 26th president of the United States and served from 1901-1909. Teddy Roosevelt was an avid hunter and this shotgun was made by the Fox Gun Company for Roosevelt to take with him on an African Safari in 1909. In a thank-you letter from Roosevelt to the Fox Gun Company, he stated that it was the most beautiful gun he had ever seen. The shotgun was originally sold by the Roosevelt family in 1974, then was eventually sold again in 2000 but it wasn’t until 2010 when the shotgun was sold again for the astonishing price of $870000.
