SERVICES FOR BUYERS AND SELLERS IN THIS AUCTION

MODERN SPORTING GUN DEPARTMENT

Proof of FirearmsThe term ‘proof exemption’ indicates that a firearm has been examined at a Proof House, but not proved, as either (a) it was deemed of interest and not intended for use, or (b) ammunition was not available. In either case, the firearm must be regarded as unsafe to fire unless subsequently proved. Firearms proved for Black Powder should not be used with smokeless ammunition. The term ‘Certificate of Unprovability’ indicates that a firearm has been examined at a Proof House and is deemed both unsuitable for proof and use. Reproof is required before any such firearm is to be used.

Guns Sold as PartsBarrels of guns sold as parts will only be made available for sleeving and measurements once rendered unserviceable according to the Gun Barrel Proof Act of 1968 to 1978 and the Rules of Proof.

Condition of FirearmsComment in this catalogue is restricted, in general, to exceptional condition and to those defects that might affect the immediate safety of a firearm in normal use. An intending buyer unable to make technical examinations and assessments is recommended to seek advice from a gunmaker or from our modern firearms specialist, Patrick Hawes. All prospective buyers are advised to consult the lists of bore and wall- thickness measurements posted in the saleroom. Potential buyers should note that guns are stripped only where there is a strong indication of a mechanical malfunction. Stripping is not, otherwise, undertaken. Guns intended for use should be stripped and cleaned beforehand. Hammer guns should have their rebound mechanisms checked before use. The safety mechanisms of all guns must be tested before use. All measurements are approximate.

Section 5Bonhams holds a Section 5 authority for certain prohibited weapons. Those handguns that fall outside this authority and which may be acquired as ‘Antique’, or under Section 7, will be highlighted on the view.

Original Gun Specifications Derived from GunmakersThe Sporting Gun Department endeavours to confirm a gun’s original specification and date of manufacture with makers who hold their original records.

Should you not already be in possession of such an authority or exemption, we request that you pay a deposit of 95% of the total invoice now and the balance of 5% when presenting your valid certificate or licence.

In the case of RFD certificates and Section 5 authorities, we wish to keep an up-to-date copy on file. Please supply us with a Fax or photocopy. It would be helpful if you could send us an updated copy whenever your certficate or authority is renewed or changed.

Please do not hesitate to contact the Modern Sporting Gun Department should you have any queries.

A remarkably small number met the high standards of the British inspectors of which this is one. This revolver was recently found with a cache of Home Guard weapons in Surrey, provenance of which can be supplied at request.

The considerable ease with which Daw’s guns could be used compared to their predecessors brought Daw both fame and fortune, a position he fiercely protected with the threat of legal proceedings resulting from an patent infringement. He eventually lost his monopoly on centre-fire cartridges to Eley Bros., as his patent covered only Schneider’s design and not centre-fire cartridges as a whole
