The Winchester Model 1886 was a lever-action repeating rifle designed by John Browning to handle some of the more powerful cartridges of the period such as the Black powder 'Buffalo' round & as was favoured for hunting large game such as Grizzly Bear, Bull Elk and Bison. This is a rare, excellent, original example of the Model 1886 chambered in UK Obsolete .40-82 WCF (Winchester Centre Fire).

The sight is screwed to the action tang with original 2 screw bolts, simply unscrewing these bolts allows the peep sight to be removed. The price for this excellent rare piece includes UK delivery.

British Ordnance Marked Victorian 1845 Pattern Royal Navy Boarding Cutlass. Sn 22266 - 22266
The British Royal Navy due to its global presence and command of the sea was by far the most organised and trained of all the World major sea services and it's edged weapons used for boarding and repelling boarders reflected this. The Royal Navy was one of the first Navies in the 18th Century to begin standardising the personal edged weapons used by ordinary seaman. Experiments during the early 1840s for a new naval cutlass design to replace the venerable 1804 Pattern resulted in a design by George Lovell, the Inspector of Small Arms, being accepted in 1842. A fire at the Tower of London destroyed early stocks and the design did not enter service in bulk until three years later, hence being termed the 1845 Pattern. It was considered very successful, handling well compared to its bulky predecessor the 1804 Pattern and being simpler to manufacture. This is a very good original Victorian 1845 Pattern boarding Cutlass (see page 248 of World Swords by Withers). Our example has the classic broad single edged 29 ½” blade (34 ½” overall). The blade is just under 1 ½” broad at its widest and the spine is 7mm width at its widest. It has the correct full steel bowl knuckle guard and ribbed steel hilt all blackened. The guard is slotted for wrist strap. The blade has some staining consistent with age & service use and has its original leather hilt washer. Near to the hilt one side of the blade has a ‘crown 13’ British ordnance inspection mark. The spine has faint indistinct partial maker’s name ‘***INGTON’ . These weapons were stored in locked racks on board ships and issued only for training or combat so are often found without scabbards. Only a small number were furnished with scabbards so that with a baldrick they could be worn for land-bound duties. Our example is without scabbard. The price for this piece of British Naval history includes UK delivery. Sn 22266 (tub armoury)

British Board Of Ordnance 1845 Pattern Royal Navy Boarding Cutlass Weapon Number ‘172’ Regulation Converted Slender Blade C1887 / 1888. Sn 22296 - 22296
The British Royal Navy due to its global presence and command of the sea was by far the most organised and trained of all the World major sea services and it's edged weapons used for boarding and repelling boarders reflected this. The Royal Navy was one of the first Navies in the 18th Century to begin standardising the personal edged weapons used by ordinary seaman.

A fire at the Tower of London destroyed early stocks and the design did not enter service in bulk until three years later, hence being termed the 1845 Pattern. It was considered very successful, handling well compared to its bulky predecessor the 1804 Pattern and being simpler to manufacture. Many of the 1845 pattern cutlasses were converted in 1887 and 1888 to the new specifications. They had their blades made more slender (see page 248 of World Swords by Withers). Our example is one of the regulation converted blades which would have been performed circa 1887- 1888. It has the classic single edged 28 ½” (34” overall). The blade is 1 ½” broad at its widest and the spine is 5mm width at its widest. The blade has some staining consistent with age & service use. It has the correct full steel bowl knuckle guard and ribbed steel hilt all blackened. The guard is slotted for wrist strap and has an additional period pierced hole. The guard has 2 brass rivets (these would most likely have supported a brass lozenge riveted to the front with a weapon / rack number. The lozenge is absent (Wither’s book illustrates afore described hilt plates). The guard also has engraved ‘BO WD arrow’ Board of Ordnance mark and weapon number ‘172’. These weapons were stored in locked racks on board ships and issued only for training or combat so are often found without scabbards. Only a small number were furnished with scabbards so that with a baldrick they could be worn for land-bound duties. Our example is without scabbard.

INERT DEACTIVATED. Rare WW2, Home Guard, Quarter Sectioned Instructional, 1941 Dated, British No.68 AT (Anti Tank) HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank) Fin Stabilised Hollow Charged Rifle Grenade. Sn - 21304
INERT DEACTIVATED. The grenade, Rifle No. 68 /AT was a British anti-tank rifle grenade used during WW2.The No. 68 was an early form of shaped charge grenade, and has some claim to have been the first High Explosive, Anti-Tank (HEAT) device in use. The design of the warhead was simple and was capable of penetrating 52mm (2 inches) of armour in 1940. The fuse of the grenade was armed by removing a pin in the tail which prevented the firing pin from flying forward. The grenade was launched from a rifle cup. The four fins gave it some stability in the air and, provided the grenade hit the target at the proper angle (90 degrees), the charge would be effective. The detonation occurred on impact, when a striker in the tail of the grenade overcame the resistance of a creep spring and was thrown forward into a stab detonator. The grenade is fired from the rifle via a No. 1 Mk.1 rifle bomb discharger cup that fits at the muzzle end of the rifle. This is a rare original British home Guard instructional WW2 HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank) hollow charged No. 68 MK III AT rifle grenade with a quarter section taken out to reveal the grenades inner workings. The grenade is made of die cast alloy with a steel screw on nose cap with a brass washer. The steel gas check is stamped REVO 1941 (1941 date) with a crowfoot in a diamond and is secured to the rear by a brass screw. One of the fins of the tail unit has been removed to reveal the firing pin and creep spring assembly. Two of the other fins have cast into them 68 AT III 1941 (1941 date) and a makers monogram BDC. The grenades firing pin assembly is complete and the explosive contents are simulated with a painted inert filling. This filling has an inert.410 brass cartridge case in it above the firing pin. The 68 anti-tank rifle grenade was displaced later in WW2 by improved weapons including the PIAT and other weapons. There is a contemporary photograph shows a member of the Home Guard with a rifle equipped to fire a No68 anti-tank grenade at Dorking, 3 August 1942. See ‘GRENADE’ British & Commonwealth Hand & Rifle Grenades, pages 151 – 154 by Rick Landers. The price includes UK delivery and no licence is required to possess this inert grenade in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. Sn 21304
