Charles Lancaster oval bore DR
      14/04/20 07:33 AM

Hi Guys
I have always liked the early doubles, this oval bore with the slide and tilt mechanism was one I always wanted

I have watched it for several years and with the boredom of isolation and the hope that a realistic reduction in price might be forthcoming gave it a punt

Anyway.........................................

Made in 1873 and sold to a Walter Bowden

It is in .450 3 1/4" foil cartridge (drawn brass cases do not fully chamber, neither do any of the .450/400s [based on
3 1/4" case] so its not length but tight halfway down the chamber





Non rebounding locks and stalking safeties in front of hammers



Nice scroll engraving



Bores are like new but could not get a good pic



Lancaster's slide and tilt action is completely different to the Jones underlever



Nice Damascus barrels, only single leaf sight???





Wood is good, sorry about the poor pics

Barrels 28" Weight 9 lbs 3 oz

For your pleasure and comments
