Chris Bb Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I see that Cogswell & Harrison, London gunmakers, now based in Eire are knocking out new guns at £1K. One wonders where they're actually being made. Is the fact that they use Turkish walnut a clue? Note: I've nothing against Turkish guns.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Is that the wonderfully named "Windsor" shotgun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunman Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Looks like any one of a bunch of "budget" guns .Non of the photos give much away . Odd that Cogswells name came up in conversation today talking about all the resurrected names that have never really taken off building a few high priced guns that all seem to end up doing the rounds of auction houses . Cogswells produced a lot of guns in their day but they were never in my opinion a "top" maker so maybe they are going back to their roots . I don't think this the gun as the market is overloaded with similar priced imports . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matone Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I think it`s a non starter trying to resurrect lesser names,the end result, if handmade, has to be priced relatively closely to the top makers whose products have a known resale worth.Why would anyone buy one,especially when they`re totally detached from any historical interest.

Gunman Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Didnt Joe Manton have a sweet shop in Lichfield in the 60's ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
