SOLD SOLD (14/03) 1908-1910 Bonehill Improved Model Britannia .25 Air Rifle.21290 - 21290
Production of the Improved Model bagan around 1908 and ended around 1910. By 1900 most airguns were simple break barrel Continental designs with smoothbore barrels. Over time people came up with ideas to improve them. When gunsmith Frederick Cox of Handsworth, Birmingham released his design it followed the period style. A very rare Bonehill Improved Model Britannia air rifle. C.G. Bonehill used the experience he gained in making Fred Cox’s Britannia in making what he termed an Improved Model (It was common practice by retailers to badge up airguns with their own details. One retailer R. Ramsbottom appears to have had a long relationship with the Cox and Bonehill Britannia project). Although it can look ungainly to modern eyes, the original intention was to make an air rifle suitable for target shooting from the prone and other positions, whilst utilising a fixed barrel. He achieved this aim and the improved model can be used from the prone position easier than a break barrel or underlever air rifle. 'C.G.BONEHILL SOLE MANUFACTURER' Firearms Works Birmingham and The IMPROVED MODEL BRITANNIA AIR RIFLE is crisply marked to the top of the cylinder. The trigger block is stamped ‘THE BRITANNIA AIR RIFLE’ between the Britannia and Air is a typical lady Britannia trademark complete with sea in the background with lighthouse and sailing ship. Measuring 44 ¾ “(barrel and cylinder length; 29 ½ “). The foresight is similar to a BSA, whilst the rear sight is flip up on a ramp and is adjustable for elevation and windage, similar in design to the Webley air pistol rear sight. The action is broken by a side lever in the right hand side of the trigger block, this lever being pushed forward to release the barrel and air chamber. A plunger device was patented for the introduction of pellets into the circular rotating breech. See page 14 of Dennis Hiller Air Rifles where he describes the rifle as very rare. The serial No- 1423 is stamped onto all components of the rifle. The metalwork is in very good condition considering its age. The wooden pistol grip stock is chequered and is in good condition with a few age related marks but nothing major *bottom and neck of pistol grip*. The rifles butt has a steel plate held by two screws. The weapon cocks loads and shoots as it should. The price for this rare collectors piece includes UK delivery. 21290.

*Lovely/Powerful 11.36 ft/lb* Mk2 Webley Eclipse .22 Air Rifle with Aftermarket Moderator. 21266:4. - 21266:4
The Eclipse is an underlever action with a flip up breech to expose the barrel to load the pellet. It has an alloy cylinder with faultless original bluing. Introduced in 1988 it superseded the Webley Omega. The Webley company was founded in the late 18th century by William Davies, who made bullet moulds. It was taken over in 1834 by his son-in-law, Philip Webley, who began producing percussion sporting guns. The manufacture of revolvers, for which the firm became famous, began twenty years later. At that time the company was named P. Webley & Son. In 1897 Webley amalgamated with W & C Scott and Sons to become The Webley & Scott Revolver and Arms Company Ltd of Birmingham. This fine example is almost un-marked *very minor indentation to the stock in parts and use related marks to the metalwork*. The deep bluing on the metalwork is excellent, and the wooden stock has a beautiful grain. The serial number is 838512 and is stamped to the front of the cylinder near the action. Webley Eclipse is stamped to the left of the cylinder above the trigger block. Webley & Scot Ltd Made in England is stamped to flip up port. Eclipse is mirrored to the left of the muzzle. 22-5.5 CAL is present on the top of the barrel. The rifle has been chronographed and fires at an impressive 11.36 ft/lb.

*c-1890* German Made ‘Gem’ .177 Air Rifle. 21310. - 21310
The Gem started off back in the 1870’s, 20 years before many guns we consider as the beginning of the airgun era appeared. The American design was adopted in Germany, and manufacturing started. Made less from engineered steel, and more from castings. A classic Vintage rifle which was produced from around 1870 to about 1930. It was manufactured in both rifled and smooth bore barrels and in .177, .22 and the rare .25cal. This fine example is a .177 calibre. The history of the Gem rifle is all a bit vague and there are plenty of publications, but most of them are contradictory, no surprise there either. What is for certain though is that many were manufactured in Germany for Quackenbush when Haviland and Gunn sold their patents to Mr Henry Marcus Quackenbush of New York. C.G. Bonehill of Birmingham manufactured a modified version of the Quackenbush called the Britannia and this manufacture started around 1905. 16 ½ “barrel (33” overall length) with fixed front and rear sights. The wooden stock is in very good condition for its years with only a few age/use related marks. A steel butt plate is held by two screws. ‘Patent? GEM’ is imprinted on the barrel. See page 122 of Hillers Air Rifles for reference. The loading and firing actions work perfectly. Price includes UK delivery for this very early first series rifle. 21310
