cased, with ALL accessories, mint and apparently unused - that is to say, unfired. This was bought by my pal Ken at a local auction house in Bedford that specialises in older firearms. Take a look and see why it got us all of a quiver!!
Mahogany case - note the 'timed' screwheads.
The six-barrelled pistol with Cooper's patent underhammer double action - as sweet in action as the day it was made.
Calibre is .45" - note the beautiful shaping on the barrels - NOT a cheap piece, this.
Left to right - Hawkesley three-setting powder flask, cap box [empty], ramrod/nipple wrench and pricker, plus original horsehair tow, oil bottle still containing whale oil. Centre - ball box [empty], bottom - apparently unused turnscrew.
Original Sykes capper.
Another view of the flask showing setting for three loads.
Details.
Nipple wrench and pricker.
Unused turnscrew.
Ramrod & jag.
Close-up of mechanism - each chamber has a different proof stamp - I'll use my macro setting next time so you can see.
He paid $910.00 - including 20% tax and buyer's premium.
I think he got a bargain. What do YOU think?
