This certainly is a quality shotgun with some nice features such as the higher-grade Anson and Deeley double seared action and with bushed firing pins. The barrels were proofed in London and remain in proof. The gun is tight and well balanced.
The name on the rib also had me a bit intrigued so I had to do an internet search.
I did not really expect to find much but as it turns out, J.P. Graham was not only an individual but the name of a well-established Gun and fishing tackle supply store.
I found a picture of an invoice from this interesting little business online and have attached it here.
The town name also was a place I had never heard of so I had to look that up.
I have to say I don\'t think I would want to tell people I was from "Cockermouth."
What a name.
Sounds like something my mother might call me after I said something naughty and would result in a mouth full of soap.
The name does have much logic to it as the town is located at the mouth of the Cocker river where it empties into the river Derwent in Cumbria. *** Note: To see this gun with high resolution photos and a zoom-in feature, go to the vintagedoubles main site and search for the gun ID: 4592 or browse the main site to see our full gun collection.

Beesley & Son, London and inscribed on rib "Made for J.P. Graham, Cockermouth
Description: Boxlocks - Beesley and Son, London. I assumed when I purchased this gun that it was a Frederick Beesley gun. The man that invented the Purdey self-opener action still in use today by Purdey. Now I am not so sure. I have spent the last half an hour researching but not finding anything specific about Beesley & Son. There is much about Frederick but not about his later years and when his son may have joined the firm. Anyone want to educate the me on this maker? This certainly is a quality shotgun with some nice features such as the higher-grade Anson and Deeley double seared action and with bushed firing pins. The barrels were proofed in London and remain in proof. The gun is tight and well balanced. The name on the rib also had me a bit intrigued so I had to do an internet search.
I did not really expect to find much but as it turns out, J.P. Graham was not only an individual but the name of a well-established Gun and fishing tackle supply store.
