FACTORY ENGRAVED English W.R. PAPE Double Barrel SxS HAMMERLESS Shotgun C&R
VERY NICE 12 Gauge English SxS w/CHECKERED STOCK
Here we present a C&R W. R. Pape English Double Barrel Side x Side Hammerless Shotgun, manufactured in 1926 in Newcastle, England. William Rochester Pape was born in Amble, Northumberland, England in 1831, the son of James and Dorothy Pape. He opened in first shop in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1858, expanding his family's game dealership, and produced his first shotgun in 1857. In the 1860s, he expanded his business, buying another premises at 29 Collingwood Street, Newcastle. In 1866, he invented the choke boring system for shotguns, British Patent No. 1501, (later developed by W.W. Greener) and went on to patent a system of mechanically retracting firing pins, improving on this system later that year, and again in 1870.
Pape won the London Field Trials in 1858, 1859 and 1866, and came second and third in class 1 for choke border guns and first in class 2 for cylinders in 1875. He won a prize medal at the Royal Mining Engineering Jubilee Exhibition in 1887 and received a diploma of merit at the Glasgow exhibition in 1889. Pape retired in 1889, leaving his business to his son, Victor, and died in 1923 after a road traffic accident.
