Description:
Here is a very fine old Charles Osborne Hammer Cape Gun with the right barrel chambered in 12G and the left barrel marked 577/450. The gun appears to be completely original. Rifling in the 577 barrel is very good.
The gun has flip up sights to 400 yards and a scaled flip up sight beyond that. Very unusual and high quality sights for a gun of this age.
The barrels show Osborne's address at Scotland Yard. Records indicate they were there from 1893-1899.
There is a box of Kynoch rifle ammunition as well as a supply of cartridges loaded by Ardvark.

ALTHOUGH WE ARE INCLUDING SOME AMMUNITION WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT ITS SUITABILITY. THE GUN DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE NITRO PROOFED.

This firearm is from the Oliver-Brice collection. The principal owned a private equity investment firm in Switzerland which allowed him to travel extensively in the UK and Europe. His passion was finding and researching high quality/investment grade British and European double shotguns. His collection is extensive and includes a number of unique firearms like this one. The owner would consider a trade of a fine/collector watch as he is a collector of those as well.
