George H Daw Hammer Gun

The Daw patent 1862 Hammer Gun is recognised as the first commercially viable and successful breach loading cartridge shotgun. This is the model that is featured on the front cover of Crudgington and Balers seminal work "The British Shotgun" which contains a very interesting chapter on this shotgun. The shotgun is nitro proofed with 30" barrels, LOP 14.5" and is in excellent condition and would make the starting point for any advanced English Shotgun Collection.
