Description:
Jefferies self-cocking, ejector hammer gun is an underlever back-action hammer gun. The hammers are cocked via the underlever. The gun is black powder proofed. The gun has 28" steel barrels, choked cyl/cyl with 2 1/2" chambers. The stock is straight-hand and rather plain. Dimensions are LOP: 14 1/4"; DAC: 1 1/2"; DAH 2 1/2".
A self-cocking, ejector hammer gun is unusual enough, but other features make this gun design unique. The design patents, which are reflected in my gun, were granted to Jefferies as numbers 7895 and 3400, dated 1885 and 1886, respectively. The gun’s action follows patent 7895 but the forend design is that of patent 3400. The gun was probably built around 1886. The hammer action is non-rebounding, i.e., there is a half-cock safety. In addition, there is an automatic tang safety, also unusual on a hammer gun.
There is an artifcle on the gun in Diggory Hadoke's on-line Vintage Gun Magazine
