Thomas Horsley & Son 12 Bore Double Rifle

Thomas Horsley & Son 12 Bore Double Rifle

The rifle is a best quality SxS by Thomas Horsley & Son of York, SN 2995

It is constructed with the Jones underlever with a dolls head rib extension. The locks are back-action non-rebounding hammer sidelocks. The rifle weighs 11 pounds precisely.

The 28” barrels appear to be fluid steel. They are Henry rifled, with attribution to Henry’s patent. The rifle dates to 1886.

Proofing is London 12 bore black powder.

This rifle is now the property of another. It is truly a time capsule back to 1886.

Fortunately it has never suffered the indignity of gunsmithing "improvements."
