The Bannerman Model 1890 shotgun is a continuation of the Spencer repeating shotgun design, acquired by Francis Bannerman VI after Spencer Arms faced financial difficulties. Despite undergoing US Ordnance testing in 1886 with promising results in rapidity and penetration, it saw limited adoption. The design featured a pump action with a tipping block mechanism and underwent several iterations by Bannerman, though production ceased around 1902.
