Antique HOLLIS BROS. & CO. British 9 BORE Percussion INDIAN TRADE Ball Gun
London Made BALL GUN from the mid-19th Century
Description: Antique HOLLIS BROS. & CO. British 9 BORE Percussion INDIAN TRADE Ball Gun London Made BALL GUN from the mid-19th Century Here we present an antique I. Hollis & Sons Percussion Ball Gun made circa 1862 in London, England. Hollis & Sons started out in the early part of the 19th century with the name of “Hollis Brothers”. It continued under that trade name until 1845 when it was re-named “Hollis Brothers & Co. which continued until 1848, when it became “Hollis & Sheath” after Isaac took on Isaac Brentnall Sheath as a partner. This continued until 1861 when the firm changed its name to I. Hollis & Sons on the departure of Sheath. Hollis & Sons became known as a supplier of pistols and shotguns, and also produced muskets, such as this example, that was possibly used for the North American Indian trade. This would have been a gun that could have taken down large game animals. The overall condition is good. Original patina. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. This example sports a hearty stock with an expected amount of wear and a few stable cracks. Legible markings. Absent ramrod. The pistol grip pommel is separated, but included. The lock is proof marked “MAKERS TO HER MAJESTY WAR DEPARMENTS”. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 28 inches. Caliber: 9 Bore (.80) Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1800 #220338 SOLD Antique: Yes |
