doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com The Bonehill Challenge?

I am looking for information on a 12ga shotgun made by C.G. Bonehill of 110 Cannon street London. The gun is marked" The Bonehill Challenge" on both lock plates and the butt plate. It has a nicely figured wood, hammers, heavy damascus barrels, right barrel choked tighter than the left and action is nicely engraved.

The seller of the gun thought the Bonehill Challenge was some sort of competition and this was a prize gun.

Any information would be appreciated.

I would suspect that "Challenge" was a model/grade. A prize gun would have had ( I think) a plate on the stock with all the details, winners name, accomplishment, date etc. I have a Pieper with Grand Prize Paris Exhibition 18-- but it isn't really "the gun" but a sales ploy. --- John Can.

Here is one for sale:

C.G.Bonehill, 12 bore, Challenge, damascus barrels engraved outside hammers non ejector, prince of wales pistol grip, $950

Here are a couple of Bonehills that are listed on Gunbroker I hope the one you are considering purchasing is of a higher quality than these.

Much nicer

Show us some pics all I've ever saw were the low quality Bonehills.
