Description:
Here is a fine early back-action Boss hammergun, completed on September 15, 1862.  The 28 3/4" black powder proved Damascus barrels have 2 1/2" chambers and excellent bores, with true cylinder choke in each.  The concave rib is engraved: BOSS & CO. 75 St. JAMES'S STREET. LONDON.  The gun locks up tight with its Jones under-lever.  The action and locks have excellent bold foliate engraving.  The hammers are rebounding, and the locks function crisply.  The keyed fore-end has a horn finial.  The figured stock measures 1 1/2" x 2 5/8" x 14 5/8" over a smooth steel butt-plate.  There is slight  cast off.  There are some indentations to the fore-end wood (see photo #9) and light scratches to the stock, but the wood is otherwise in very good condition with no chips or cracks.  The weight is 7 lbs 2 oz.  A beautiful hammergun from a great maker.
