SOLD SOLD (13/03)**EXCEPTIONAL**MINT BORE**C1860 George Henry Daw 57 Threadneedle St. London British Volunteer Officer’s Private Purchase .604 Calibre Carbine Size Rifle With Damascus Steel Barrel Jacobs Rifle Type 4 Groove Rifling & Patchbox. Sn 20455 - 20455 Volunteer pattern arms were commercial firearms based upon standard British Military issue pattern arms, intended for sale to British “Volunteers”. Volunteer pattern arms often featured various upgrades to improve them cosmetically and functionally. The most common upgrade was a chequered stock and forend, often accompanied by the use of additional sight arrangements and stock mounts such as patch boxes. Certain English makers are strongly associated with these purchased, high-grade short rifles, including Thomas Turner, James Kerr, Joseph Whitworth and George Daw. George H. Daw was a London based gunmaker and retailer. Daw was originally a partner with John Sergeant Witton, and they operated as Witton, Daw & Company from 1851-1852 at 82 Old Broad Street. In 1853 they moved to 57 Threadneedle Street and in 1854 became simply Witton & Daw. In 1860 George Daw took over the business and operated as George Henry Daw (also marking arms GH Daw and George H Daw). Daw’s advertisements stated that his firm was established in 1780, suggesting a long family history of gunmaking. Daw remained in business until 1889, and was located at several different London addresses between 1865 and the close of his business. Daw was particularly well known for producing and selling high-grade target and “Volunteer” pattern rifles and rifle muskets. Like many London makers and retailers, Daw apparently relied upon the Birmingham trade to provide him with at least some of his guns, which he would mark with his retailer mark. Some of the arms were also probably engraved, chequered, re-sighted and enhanced by Daw or his workmen, to provide higher-grade guns from the well-regarded London maker. George Daw was a very important maker, famous amongst other things for the Jacobs Rifle. He published a book in 1864 on his patents and inventions. The Company were Contractors to the British Ordnance and the East India Company. This particular carbine size rifle by Daw is most likely a Volunteer Officer’s private purchase weapon and is in exceptional condition with features of the Jacobs rifle. It has a 23” heavy Damascus steel barrel with flat top rib signed ‘G.H. DAW 57 THREADNEEDLE ST LONDON’. The barrel is approx. .604 Calibre (a calibre used in producing Jacobs rifles). The bore is near mint clean and bright with Jacobs rifle type 4 groove deep cut rifling. The weapon has a blade fore sight ‘v’ notch plate rear sight with 2 additional folding leaves. The Walnut stock is excellent with just light bumps and bruises to be expected with age and use. The stock has a patchbox with folding steel lid as found on jacobs rifles , steel butt plate and void white metal escutcheon on the underside of the stock. The wrist and fore stock have chequered grip panels. The barrel mount and stock have sling lugs. The plain action plate is signed ‘G.H. Daw’. The weapon has a heavy military hammer and its cocking and firing actions work crisply. The carbine has an ebonised wood ram rod with brass end cap and tip which unscrews to reveal a worm. The price for this superb carbine worthy of further research includes UK delivery. NB As an antique muzzle loading percussion rifle no licence is required to own this item in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. Sn 20455 £0.00 |
