Massive Engraved English G. Heminway 8 Gauge Double Barrel Breechloading Shotgun 14 lbs *RARE* Antique 8GA SxS
Description:
*SALE PENDING* Massive Rare G. Heminway Engraved English 8 Gauge Double Barrel Breechloading Market Hunter's Shotgun, 8 Ga, mfg. circa 1880's. Large bore shotguns were the weapon of choice for commercial hunters who made their living supplying local hotels and markets with as much waterfowl as they could harvest on a daily basis. Naturally due to the harsh conditions in which these guns were extensively used few have survived. This example is of substantial size and quality and remains in wonderful original condition overall. The Birmingham proofed damascus barrels measure 32 1/8" long and 3" wide across the breech! They are fitted with a brass bead front sight and inscribed along the upper rib "G. HEMINWAY. LONDON. DAMASCUS STEEL". The gun is profusely engraved throughout in tight English scrolls with "G. HEMINWAY" inscribed on both locks. I believe the name "Heminway" to be a trade name likely used by one of the big Birmingham firms such as J. P. Clabrough. The barrels retain 85%+ vivid original browned damascus pattern while the frame and locks show faint mottled traces of case color mostly turned silver fading to plum. The stock features a checkered wrist and forearm with a nickel silver shield nameplate. The wood has a lovely rich untouched color with a blackened patina forming. There is a secure tight 1 1/2" crack behind each lock and a small chip at the tip of the barrel tang but otherwise the wood is quite nice with no further damage or repair. Original checkered horn buttplate shows moderate wear with no chips or cracks while the fluted horn pistolgrip cap has some minor surface marring along the forward edge. The forend tip is missing. Both hammers are matching originals with the right showing a period brass braze repair. Both actions are perfectly crisp and function flawlessly featuring rebounding safeties. Original firing pins are freely moving and the cartridge extractor functions properly. Top-lever release securely opens and latches the barrels shut with typical light play against the frame when closed. Matching serial number "1227" marked on the barrels, forearm, and water table. Relatively bright bores with moderate blackpowder frosting throughout and some small pits scattered toward the muzzles. The barrels appear sound with no dents and solid ribs. The gun weighs just a tad over 14 lbs and is well balanced with most of the weight over the breech. A very handsome and unmolested high quality 8 Gauge double that will make a statement in any gun room! Jeremiah Johnson Trading sells antique firearms manufactured prior to 1899 and muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions only. For the purpose of these conditions the term "antique firearm" will hence include muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions. Buyers must be 21 years of age or older and have no felony convictions to purchase antique firearms. Antique firearms do not require Federal licensing and may be shipped directly to the buyer with the following exceptions. No antique firearms will be shipped to Washington D. C. or any of the five boroughs of New York City (or residents thereof). Some restrictions may apply to antique firearms shipped to California and will be noted in the item description if applicable. Any handgun (antique or muzzleloading blackpowder reproduction) shipped to New Jersey must ship to a licensed FFL holder. Any muzzleloading blackpowder reproduction rifle, shotgun, or handgun shipped to Illinois must ship to an FFL holder. No international sales of antique firearms which may fire conventional metallic cartridges or any reproductions regardless of ignition. Antique muzzleloaders, or antiques which fire obsolete cartridges, may be shipped internationally however it is the responsibility of the buyer to know and abide by their local laws and provide proof that the antique arm is legal to receive and own. Payment can be made by money order, banker's check, personal check, or credit card (no fees). Please allow 7-10 business days for clearance on personal checks. If paying by credit card please call us directly to process your order. If not satisfied with an item within 3 days of receiving it, simply return the item in the same condition as shipped for a full refund, minus return shipping costs. Cleaning, disassembly, or altering of a firearm in any way will void inspection privileges. Layaway may be allowed upon negotiation, but will void inspection privileges. Buyer pays actual shipping & insurance costs. Occasionally a post-1898 firearm from my personal collection may be sold under this account however it will be noted that any such transaction is a personal sale in no way affiliated with our business. Any such arm will be shipped to a licensed FFL or C&R holder in accordance with Federal law. All firearms are sold as collector's items and are not warranted safe for shooting. Please consult a competent gunsmith prior to shooting any firearm. Message or call with any questions about this firearm, or any of our other items at 860-873-1092 (office) or 860-345-2100 (shop).

Description:
*SALE PENDING* Massive Rare G. Heminway Engraved English 8 Gauge Double Barrel Breechloading Market Hunter's Shotgun, 8 Ga, mfg. circa 1880's. Large bore shotguns were the weapon of choice for commercial hunters who made their living supplying local hotels and markets with as much waterfowl as they could harvest on a daily basis. Naturally due to the harsh conditions in which these guns were extensively used few have survived. This example is of substantial size and quality and remains in wonderful original condition overall. The Birmingham proofed damascus barrels measure 32 1/8" long and 3" wide across the breech! They are fitted with a brass bead front sight and inscribed along the upper rib "G. HEMINWAY. LONDON. DAMASCUS STEEL". The gun is profusely engraved throughout in tight English scrolls with "G. HEMINWAY" inscribed on both locks. I believe the name "Heminway" to be a trade name likely used by one of the big Birmingham firms such as J. P. Clabrough. The barrels retain 85%+ vivid original browned damascus pattern while the frame and locks show faint mottled traces of case color mostly turned silver fading to plum. The stock features a checkered wrist and forearm with a nickel silver shield nameplate. The wood has a lovely rich untouched color with a blackened patina forming. There is a secure tight 1 1/2" crack behind each lock and a small chip at the tip of the barrel tang but otherwise the wood is quite nice with no further damage or repair. Original checkered horn buttplate shows moderate wear with no chips or cracks while the fluted horn pistolgrip cap has some minor surface marring along the forward edge. The forend tip is missing. Both hammers are matching originals with the right showing a period brass braze repair. Both actions are perfectly crisp and function flawlessly featuring rebounding safeties. Original firing pins are freely moving and the cartridge extractor functions properly. Top-lever release securely opens and latches the barrels shut with typical light play against the frame when closed. Matching serial number "1227" marked on the barrels, forearm, and water table. Relatively bright bores with moderate blackpowder frosting throughout and some small pits scattered toward the muzzles. The barrels appear sound with no dents and solid ribs. The gun weighs just a tad over 14 lbs and is well balanced with most of the weight over the breech. A very handsome and unmolested high quality 8 Gauge double that will make a statement in any gun room!
