My Cogswell and Harrison 450 3 1/4 BPE
      07/08/14 04:13 AM

The factory letter states this was completed Oct. 12, 1897 at a weight of 8 lbs, 13 oz.
The first owner paid 33 guineas for it.

Top lever, hidden greener cross bolt, 28" barrels and steel butt plate, black powder fences.



Shoots to the top of the front bead at 50 yards with a load of 48 grains of H 4198 with foam wads
under 300 grain LBT gas check bullet. About 1900 f/s the Sherman Bell load.


Shoots to the top of the front bead at 100 yards with the same load and the folded leaf rear.



I believe the screws that go horizontal into both sides of the standing breech are for intercepting
sears.
