This pistol is very interesting for one reason - I didn't know that J.C. ever marketed a center-break gun.. He surely never made one. 49 bore = .45 caliber. London proofs. Where is the "Joseph Charles" - there is only "Reilly, 502 New Oxford Street, London" on the barrel.

I ended up winning this. $950 before fees and shipping. Should be about $1200 or so all in. I'll be sure to take more pictures when I get it.
