SOLD SOLD (14/11) 1905-1908 ‘H (Heavy / Hercules) - The Lincoln’ Jeffries Patent .177 Calibre Under Lever Air Rifle Retailed By S. Chambers Gunmaker & Co Cardiff (Wales). Sn 23840 - 23840 The Lincoln & 'H' or Heavy / Hercules model were introduced in 1905 see pages 27-29 of Milewski’s book ‘The Book Of BSA Air Rifles 1905-1939’ where he describes how Lincoln Jeffries described the ‘H’ as standing for Hercules (a name of an associated company of Jeffries). A known retailer of Lincoln Jeffries air rifles were S Chambers Gunmaker & Co Located at 21 Castle Street, Cardiff. Septimus Chambers was listed as a Gunmaker and Athletic Outfitter in the 1902 Kelly’s Directory of Bristol, as he also had premises at 63 Broad Street, Bristol and 19 High Street, Shepton Mallet. Although described as a gunmaker in the directory and on the plate that was pegged into the side of a Lincoln’s stock, the company may have been a gun shop rather than a true gun maker, with the plate giving the impression of a business more than just a shop. Several such plates from Chambers have been encountered and all on Lincolns rather than BSAs. The plate itself was not inlet into the stock very well and covered the standing man part of Lincoln Jeffries’s own trademark. A food retailer was also based at 21 Castle Street in 2019 (see page 268 of Milewski’s book where a chamber’s retailer plate the same as found on our gun is illustrated, and as described in his book the plate covers part of Jeffries own legend). The metal work has even blue finish faded with age in areas and it has all original wood stock with chequered pistol grip stock, steel butt plate and the cocking lever has the correct ‘bayonet’ catch. The stock is impressed with partially visible Lincoln Jeffries trademark, partially obscured by Chamber’s trade plate and Jeffries Registered trademark. The underside of the stock is impressed 14 ¼ stock length in inches. The rifle measures 43 ¼” overall with an 19 ½” rifled barrel. The cylinder has ‘H-The Lincoln Air Rifle Patent’.

*RARE*ONE Of ONLY 1200*1909-1914 British Westley Richards & Co Ltd 2nd Variant Large Frame ‘Highest Possible’ .177 Calibre Air Pistol. Sn 23786 - 23786 This is a rare to find Westley Richards & Co Ltd ‘Highest Possible’ .177 Calibre Air pistol. It is the 2nd variant (1st variants had smooth horn grips and a void heart shaped section in the grip frame, see pages 245-246 0f Air Pistols by Dennis Hiller later variants including the 2nd type such as ours are found with chequered vulcanite grips). Manufactured by Westley Richards of London, Patented in 1907 and manufactured between 1909 to late 1914, the design was patented by E. Anson, a relative of W. Anson of the well-known partnership Anson & Deeley. Westley Richards is one of the oldest surviving traditional handmade gun and rifle makers in England. Founded over 200 years ago in 1812, in Britain’s historic gun-making capital of Birmingham, this air pistol is “the key contributor of the British air pistol revolution during the early 20th century”. The quality of the pistol was such that air pistols could no longer be considered children’s toys. Prior to this, the air pistol market was dominated by importers such as Germany and the USA. This pistol is one only approximately 1200 manufactured making this a scarce collectable air pistol. The pistol is crisply stamped ‘WESTLEY RICHARDS “HIGHEST POSSIBLE” AIR PISTOL together with crisp ‘PATENT 24837 1907’ and ‘WESTLEY RICHARDS & COY LONDON W’ on the frame. The trigger guard frame has number ‘769’. The pistol has undamaged original chequered vulcanite grips. It has a 9 ¾” rifled barrel and is 12 ¼” overall length. The rear sight is adjustable for elevation only and its fore sight is a blade on the fore end barrel block. The pistol’s barrel and cylinder section are released for concentric action cocking by operation of a steel sprung lever on the rear grip frame of the pistol and cocking is assisted by a small folding lever on the back of the grip frame which when folded out assists leverage during the cocking action. The pistol cocks and fires correctly. The price for this very rare sought after collectors piece includes UK delivery. Sn 23786 £975.00 |
