Housed in an original English oak case that displays a Gogswell & Harrison trade label. Case contains a partial box of .380 Revolver rimmed Kynoch cartridges and a cleaning rod. CONDITION: Excellent. The trigger guard has flaked and there is some light muzzle wear and minute handling, retaining nearly all of its bright English blue. Stocks are superb. Mechanically sound retaining bright bores. Simply an incredible high condition rare gun.
