Thomas Horsley (of York) Beautiful 12 Ga Nitro Proof Pull Back Top-lever Bar-Wood Hammergun
SALE PENDING
Description: SOLD Here is a very high quality (and very shootable) pull-back top-lever bar-in-wood hammergun from Thomas Horsley of York, one of the best regional British gunmakers of the mid to late 1800s. This example was built in 1884, and has 29 ¾" nitro-proved fluid steel sleeved barrels. The chambers are 2 ½" and the bores are excellent, choked .011/.038 (about improved cylinder/full). This gun incorporates Horsley's barrel bolting patent No. 2410. The number “1” is engraved on the top-lever and the rib. There are carved percussion fences, and rebounding locks with dolphin hammers. All metal surfaces have best quality fine border and acanthus scroll engraving. The fore-end has an engraved lever release. There is an insert repair to the fore-end tip, visible in photo no. 13. The stock is highly figured English walnut. The checkering is worn almost smooth. The stock measures 1 3/8" x 1 ¾" x 14 3/8" with slight cast off (for a right hand shot.) The weight is 7 lbs 3 oz. In the 1880s Horsley built only a few dozen guns per year. Each one was a work of art. Here is a chance to own one. SOLD Antique: Yes Shotgun Gauge: 12 Gauge Price: $1,900.00 Contact Seller |
