About Us: Hallowell & Co. incorporated as a full-time, federally-licensed firearms business in Greenwich, Connecticut in 1983. In 1999, we sold our Greenwich building to Griffin & Howe and moved to Livingston, Montana. Our primary interests lie in high quality, artisanal sporting guns in fine original condition---single shot rifles, custom rifles, double shotguns and double rifles by the best makers, from the beginning of the cartridge era to the present. We look forward to being of service.


Description:
Charles Lancaster --- Four-Barrel Pistol --- .476 Eley. Four, 6" drop-down, Lancaster-oval-bore barrels with nickel silver blade front sight. Broad V-notch rear sight. Left-side thumb-lever double-top-latch barrel release. Automatic simultaneous ejection. Tranter-type double-action advance via folding trigger spur extending through detachable triggerguard, and with single-action firing. Checkered walnut birdshead grips. Striated backstrap. Lanyard loop. Assembly number 33 on various internal small parts. Barrel set mostly turned brown and frame blue flaked to about 50%. But, breech face shows no sign of the pistol ever having been fired. All bores simply excellent. Excellent mechanical condition. From the Lancaster records, pistol #8344 was sold in November 1892 to James Herbert Gustavus Meredyth (Lord Athlumley) who was at that time a Lieutenant in the Coldstream Guards.  In late 1892 he was attached to, and serving with, the Egyptian Army.
