Fine C.G. Bonehill 16 Gauge Single Barrel Harpoon Gun, with Harpoon

Manufactured c.1927. Single bead front sight on the barrel, with the Birmingham address on the top chamber flat, importer mark on the underside, and markings for nitro proof and a 2 1/2 inch chamber on the underside. The solid bar pattern frame is attractively casehardened with light floral and border engraving, with a similarly finished and decorated sideplate with a rebounding hammer, single trigger, and a rubber finger pad on the rear of the triggerguard. Fitted with a checkered forearm and pistol grip stock, the latter marked "IRP/28-10-44" on an inscription panel on the belly and an unmarked solid recoil pad. One harpoon is included, approximately 26 inches long with a sliding connection bracket for a line and a 2 3/4 inch wide alloy head with hinged flues.

ConditionFine, with 95% of the refinished blue finish on barrel, showing minor spotting, scattered light scratches, and traces of protective varnish, 70% bright original case color on frame with mild handling marks overall. The stock is fine, with some varnish loss, scuffs and dents, and the recoil pad is drying out and cracking. Mechanically excellent. The harpoon is in fine condition, a bit of a tight fit to the bore.
