WTB case accessories for Gibbs Farquharson approx 1880
#207774 - 28/04/12 10:06 AM

Hi there,
I have a cased Gibbs Farquharson 450/400 3 1/4 BP made approx 1880 but it doesn't have any of the accessories so if anyone can help that would be great, even info on which brands and types were used.
I need the cleaning rod, oil bottle and turn screws etc.
Cheers

I believe the accessories were generic.

Yes - they would have been in the original case - early on, probably made by the gun maker himself or made in-shop by his employees. They've gone somewhere - separated, lost or sold separately - and if searching near and far, you might find some, piece by piece - but probably never the ones that are actually missing from your case.

Good luck, which is pretty much what Kamil. said.

^ with the usual mark up for a usually/sometimes inferior product. FWIW go to the source.
