Cogswell & Harrison was established in May 1770 and is London’s oldest surviving gun maker.

 

Ref 2048 is an interesting pre-war, Cogswell and Harrison 12 Bore Boxlock ejector made in 1937. 

At some point the stock has been extended to a  15" pull.

This is an opportunity to shoot with a 91 year old classic British shotgun, if only it could talk!
