C&H Ball & Shot guns?
|
|
I’m sure a member here sold one a few years back. Cogswell and Harrison made ball and shot gun? Had a name like a Cosmic or something? Would love pics and more info on them.
Cheers, Ash.

I'd like to see that as well. I did not know Cogswell and Harrison made such early bore guns? I am only familiar with their 98 Mauser actions rifles.

Thanks Rigby, any pics?
I found this one. Those high rear sights are something I used remember.

Hi Ash, maybe because that is a picture of a Rook Rifle of some type & not a Ball Gun ?
I have seen a few in the past, what are you up to with one, making a bore gun are you ?

Sarg - swipe across. The first pic is a single shot thing, the 2nd pic is a cosmos.
Nah, I’m just researching C&H (for my own interest). I’ll create a similar topic for Lee speeds soon.

That is an absolutely incredible paradox, it has H&H style chokes, I had a conversation about that gun with Seyfried and he committed that it was not only an incredible paradox, but an incredible cogswell. Most comsos had invisible rifling by the chokes if I am correct.

C&H certainly aren’t known for being up there with H&H but it seems sometimes they excelled to be.

Yes that is better on the second pic, don’t look like normal paradox or ball gun sights do they ?

People often forget that Harrison was head of the Gunmakers guild for a very long time, a few of the best examples of English guns I have seen have been cogswells, including that above paradox.

Edgar Harrison?
Gundog01 - I found the thread about a Cosmos on here. A member purchased it from Sweden. Did you buy yours off of this member?
Cheers, Troy.
