Engraved Cogswell & Harrison Box Lock Ejector Big Game Rifle

Blacked Böhler steel sleeved chopperlump barrels with matted ramp mounted bead front sight, matted quarter rib with checkered fixed rear sight with silver inlaid pointer, and doll's head extension engraved with a shell. Border and scroll engraved action cleaned bright, signed "COGSWELL & HARRISON LTD." on each side, and with blued top lever and manual safety with gold inlaid "SAFE". Scroll engraved blued trigger guard and pistol grip cap. Monte Carlo style 14 3/4 inch pistol grip stock including 5/8 inch ventilated rubber recoil pad, raised cheek piece, and checkered grip and forearm. The underside of the butt inset with a silver escutcheon engraved with initials, and with two blued iron sling mounts. Weight: 11 lbs. 11 oz. Original London nitro proofmarks visible, Ferlach nitro reproof marks for 1972. In recent lined and fitted leather case with accessories including snap caps, oil bottle, cleaning rod and heads, and horn striker blocks, the lid with reproduction Cogswell & Harrison trade label, and with a canvas and leather rifle slip painted "470".

ConditionVery good. Barrels professionally reblacked, almost certainly at time of sleeving. Engraving clear. Action with a dull light gray patina, possibly as a result of having been acid cleaned, engraving clear. Top lever and trigger guard reblued, some loss of finish from handling, engraving mostly clear, some softening to trigger guard tang. Partial restock with the butt having been replaced, numerous bruises, scratches and dings, rubber recoil pad hardening. Forearm appears to be the original wood, checkering softened. Mechanically excellent. Case in little used condition with minor storage marks, the trade label not glued onto the lid.
