C.G. Bonehill Need Age
Hi Folks,
I recently acquired a C.G. Bonehill sidelock ejector SxS shotgun w/ 30" barrels. The gun is in really great condition. I love the gun and I was trying to find out it's approximate age, but, I am having no luck. The midrib says C.G. Bonehill Birmingham. The serial # is 145480. Can anyone tell me approximately when this gun was made? The barrel flats are stamped with all appropriate Birmingham proof marks. They are proofed for 2 3/4" shells, are stamped for Nitro powder and are proofed for 1 1/4 oz of shot. Perhaps, this information may help in dating this gun. Also, can anyone tell me any history on this maker? Information that I am finding on this maker on the web seems to be rather little. Thank you in advance for any information that you can supply me.
