Cogswell & Harrison Combination Gun - 16 ga x 375 NE 2-1/2"
Hello All,
I purchased this Cape gun at the the Great Northern Side-by-Side Classic in Medford, Wisconsin. Although I don't participate in the competition, I always attend the event because they have lots of interesting guns for sale. Kirby Hoyt comes all the way from Washington to attend. Here's a shout-out for him. A wonderful man and a pleasure to deal with.
This one I couldn't resist. A Father's Day present from myself - to myself. Its a Cogswell & Harrison Cape Gun in 16 gauge by 375 NE 2-1/2".
Specs are: 25-1/4" bbl - 14-1/2" LOP - 8 lbs 1-1/2 oz - Ejectors
This is the second Cape Gun bought from Kirby. The first was a Franz Thiele of Teplitz (Czech - Austria Hungary) in 16 gauge by 8x72R, but this one is very special because I've never owned one of these with a "Big Game" Nitro-Express caliber.
I've called C&H for history. Their reply is in the following post.
As always, your comments are welcome.
