nabbers Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 I wonder of Oldboggy would be so kind as to look up my recent purchase from Wabbitbosher? Its a Charles Bosworth S/S 12G and the serial number is 5581 which seems a low number compared to some of the above and with it being a hammerless gun! Its a lovely gun and I'm using it most weeks now. Link to PW page original sales advert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of useful information! I think my shotgunt dates to around 1910 although I'm relying on Rabbitbosher's eyesight rather than my own because I can't find a serial number on it anywhere! [Edit -no sooner had I hit return, I picked up the stock and found the number on the trigger guard!] Edited December 27, 2020 by nabbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Scott Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 On 29/07/2017 at 16:15, Old Boggy said: Nigel Brown`s book indicates that serial No.17194 was made between 1913 & 1916, although I would have thought that trade diverted from sporting guns from 1914 to 1918 (WW1). Does the top rib have an address ? OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
