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’. The rifle is serial number 11029 which is in the serial number range for H-The Lincoln rifles made between 1905 & 1908. The rifle has a blade foresight and adjustable dial rear sight. The loading port has BSA’s Pyled arms trademark and ‘Load’. The rifle cocks and fires with a strong spring action. The price for this scarce Lincoln variant includes UK delivery. Sn 23840
