Just bought a Lincoln Jeffries Damascus barrelled Hammer Gun, proof marks indicate that the barrels were made in 1875-87 but they also have " awarded first prize Melbourne 1889" stamped on the top so bit of confusion there. The locks have the name "chas Maschwitz junior" engraved into a banner on both sides but the only history of him I can find is that he patented the first Stamp box in 1850, was it his gun? or did he sell guns bought from LJ? The gun has a feel of quality about it - nice walnut stock, locks feel like a watchmaker built them and even the rib is Damascus - serial number is 24 so early in the run and the words "Lincoln Jeffries The Lightweight 12 Bore" run along the rib. Does anyone out there in PW land have any info whatsoever about LJ shotguns? Searching the interweb turns up very little?
