Wm Cashmore 12 Bore Hammer Gun (Serial 10363) – c.[removed] plus buyer to pay transfer and postage Offering a William Cashmore 12 bore top lever hammer gun, manufactured in Birmingham during the early 1890s. This is a genuine late Victorian sporting gun from one of Birmingham’s respected makers, with all original Birmingham black powder proof marks intact. Details • Maker: Wm Cashmore, Birmingham • Serial: 10363 • Date: c.[removed] (based on proof marks and rib style) • Action: Top lever, external hammers • Barrels: Damascus, with visible pattern • Chambers: 21⁄2′′ • Proof: Original Birmingham black powder definitive • Rib: Plain “Wm Cashmore” • Chokes: Marked “CHOKE” on both barrels • Condition: Fair — honest wear, barrels show age, wood has marks, action still locks up properly and is tight. Suitable for display, collection, or restoration. • Notes: Black powder proof only — not suitable for modern smokeless cartridges unless reproofed. Late serial hammer guns from Cashmore are less common, as most production had shifted to boxlocks by this period.
