• Cogswell & Harrison 12-bore boxlock

In 1874 Edgar Harrison joined the firm and in 1883 it moved to 226 Strand. In 1884 they acquired a small 'factory' and the Blagdon Shooting Ground. In 1887 the firm had a factory in Harrow including a test range where they offered live pigeon and starling shooting on which substantial betting took place. In 1888 the firm patented a boxlock ejector (Nos. 11550 and 18157) called the 'Avant Tout'. this was further modified by patent No. 13591 of 1889. On 15 June 1893 Horatio F. Phillips patented a lightweight shotgun which fired a 12-bore cartridge into a barrel that was reduced to 20-bore dimensions in the first third of its length. He named this the 'Vena Contracta'. In 1894 the Harrow factory burned down and manufacturing moved to Victoria. In 1897 the firm became a limited liability company and moved to 141 New Bond Street and in 1901 a shop was opened in Paris. Then in 1911 a joint venture was entered into with the Schultze Co to establish Cogschultze Ammunition & Powder Company Ltd. In 1918 the shop at 141 New Bond Street was closed and a new shop opened at 168 Piccadilly but business was slow and remained so for two or three years. In 1919 a depot was opened in Exeter at 94 Queen Street. Tragically in a repeat of history in 1922 the factory in Gillingham Street burned down and all the stock machinery guns in for repair and some of the records were lost. This was a major blow at a difficult time. Very few guns were sold in the second half of the 1920s and in 1928 due to lack of business the Strand shop was sold and the company operated only from Piccadilly. In 1931 the shop in Paris closed. By 1932 the situation was dire Edgar Harrison put the company into voluntary liquidation and a new company was formed. In 1933 having lost the skilled staff in Feltham Edgar opened a factory in Birmingham but this closed soon after. For the duration of WW2 the company was involved in gun repairs and spares and making Sten gun parts. Business was poor after WW2 and in around 1958 Interarmco (UK) bought a controlling interest in the company and opened a new factory at Cannon Works Acton. By 1963 the company was not doing well and John Peskett Ted Holden and others bought the name goodwill and retail business of Cogswell & Harrison back from Interarmco but in 1982 the company ceased trading and Farlows of Pall Mall bought the name goodwill and records which were licensed to J. Roberts & Son from 1984 to 1989 but then reverted to Farlows. In 1993 Cogswell & Harrison (Gunmakers) Ltd was formed by the new owners. Professor Mike Cooley owns the company and Alan Crewe (ex Purdey) is Director of Gunmaking.

• C. SHARPS & CO. 22 LR MODEL 1
  C. SHARPS & CO. 22 LR MODEL 1 PEPPERBOX 1859-74Featured in this lot we have a C. Sharps & Co. 22 Long Rifle Model 1 Pepperbox. The pepperbox features a brass frame, four shot barrel, and engraved gutta percha grips. The story of the Sharps four-barrel pistol begins, officially, on December 18, 1849. On that date, the United States Patent Office issued patent number 6960 for a revolver to Christian Sharps, then residing in Washington, D.C. This "revolver" was actually not a revolver at all, but a pepperbox in which the barrels didn't revolve. It was fired by a striker which did revolve on a center post to hit, in sequence, the percussion caps which were placed on nipples on the ends of the barrels. The side hammer served both as a cocking lever and as the force behind the striker. The pistol was not produced on a commercial basis until 1859, after Sharps had become sole owner of the Fairmont Rifle Works in West Philadelphia. By this time, the metallic cartridge had been introduced and Sharps was able to develop his design into a practical repeating pistol. Patent number 22753 was issued to Sharps on January 25, 1859, again for a "revolver". The first model was .22 caliber. Made with a brass frame, it had a spur or stud trigger and was a single-action, four-shot repeater. Approximately 85,000 of these little pepperboxes were made in the ten years between 1859 and 1868. This pepperbox is in good aesthetic condition, showing some signs of wear and use. The side of the frame is marked "C. Sharps & Co Philada, PA". Serial Number: 22790. This firearm qualifies as an antique and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.*
