Nice rifle, thanks for the links to other arms by Palm, really gives good perspective on his work.  Maybe there’s more examples out there.

A swivel breech double barreled flintlock in the NRA National Firearms Museum

References also refer to #109 and #206 being known. I also saw a wreck of a barrel once decades ago at a Pennsylvania gun show, but cannot remember the number.
