Cunningham & Cogan New Bedford Mass Bomb Lance Whaling Shoulder Gun *RARE* 1877 Patent 23 lbs Maritime Relic
Description:
*SALE PENDING* Very Rare Cunningham & Cogan, New Bedford, Massachusetts Breechloading Bomb Lance Whaling Shoulder Gun, 4 Ga, mfg. circa late 1870's. The all-iron Cunningham & Cogan whaling gun was manufactured in New Bedford only for a brief period of a couple years during the late 1870's by Patrick Cunningham and Bernard Cogan on the 1877 patent developed by H. W. Chapman. The guns were marketed in New Bedford by William Lewis who shortly after developed his own revised version of the gun which featured a bronze breech and brass barrel. The William Lewis guns were manufactured in greater numbers than the original Cunningham & Cogan and were also designed with a 7/8" bore to accommodate the standard size bomb lance of the day whereas this earlier all-iron gun featured a 1" bore that fired Cunningham's own 1875 patent combined bomb lance & cartridge. Both the Cunningham & Cogan and William Lewis guns proved to be very popular aboard steam barks in the Arctic and saw continued use well into the early 20th century. This example has certainly been around the world a few times and appears to have been retired after a misfire that left a portion of the bomb lance stuck in the barrel protruding from the muzzle. I suspect the missing breech broken at the hinge and damaged action were caused by the blowback. The hammer and trigger still freely move but there is no mainspring tension. Otherwise the gun is complete with solid cast frame and skeleton stock and threaded steel barrel. The iron surfaces are naturally rusty from having spent years at sea. Weight is a staggering 23 lbs. These do not turn up often and when they do are almost invariably the later iron & brass William Lewis version. A fantastic piece of maritime history that speaks to you of old whalers and baymen long past. Jeremiah Johnson Trading sells antique firearms manufactured prior to 1899 and muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions only. For the purpose of these conditions the term "antique firearm" will hence include muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions. Buyers must be 21 years of age or older and have no felony convictions to purchase antique firearms. Antique firearms do not require Federal licensing and may be shipped directly to the buyer with the following exceptions. No antique firearms will be shipped to Washington D. C. or any of the five boroughs of New York City (or residents thereof). Some restrictions may apply to antique firearms shipped to California and will be noted in the item description if applicable. Any handgun (antique or muzzleloading blackpowder reproduction) shipped to New Jersey must ship to a licensed FFL holder. Any muzzleloading blackpowder reproduction rifle, shotgun, or handgun shipped to Illinois must ship to an FFL holder. No international sales of antique firearms which may fire conventional metallic cartridges or any reproductions regardless of ignition. Antique muzzleloaders, or antiques which fire obsolete cartridges, may be shipped internationally however it is the responsibility of the buyer to know and abide by their local laws and provide proof that the antique arm is legal to receive and own. Payment can be made by money order, banker's check, personal check, or credit card (no fees). Please allow 7-10 business days for clearance on personal checks. If paying by credit card please call us directly to process your order. If not satisfied with an item within 3 days of receiving it, simply return the item in the same condition as shipped for a full refund, minus return shipping costs. Cleaning, disassembly, or altering of a firearm in any way will void inspection privileges. Layaway may be allowed upon negotiation, but will void inspection privileges. Buyer pays actual shipping & insurance costs. Occasionally a post-1898 firearm from my personal collection may be sold under this account however it will be noted that any such transaction is a personal sale in no way affiliated with our business. Any such arm will be shipped to a licensed FFL or C&R holder in accordance with Federal law. All firearms are sold as collector's items and are not warranted safe for shooting. Please consult a competent gunsmith prior to shooting any firearm. Message or call with any questions about this firearm, or any of our other items at 860-873-1092 (office) or 860-345-2100 (shop).

I suspect the missing breech broken at the hinge and damaged action were caused by the blowback. The hammer and trigger still freely move but there is no mainspring tension. Otherwise the gun is complete with solid cast frame and skeleton stock and threaded steel barrel. The iron surfaces are naturally rusty from having spent years at sea. Weight is a staggering 23 lbs. These do not turn up often and when they do are almost invariably the later iron & brass William Lewis version. A fantastic piece of maritime history that speaks to you of old whalers and baymen long past. Jeremiah Johnson Trading sells antique firearms manufactured prior to 1899 and muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions only. For the purpose of these conditions the term "antique firearm" will hence include muzzleloading blackpowder reproductions. Buyers must be 21 years of age or older and have no felony convictions to purchase antique firearms. Antique firearms do not require Federal licensing and may be shipped directly to the buyer with the following exceptions. No antique firearms will be shipped to Washington D. C. or any of the five boroughs of New York City (or residents thereof). Some restrictions may apply to antique firearms shipped to California and will be noted in the item description if applicable. Any handgun (antique or muzzleloading blackpowder reproduction) shipped to New Jersey must ship to a licensed FFL holder. Any muzzleloading blackpowder reproduction rifle, shotgun, or handgun shipped to Illinois must ship to an FFL holder. No international sales of antique firearms which may fire conventional metallic cartridges or any reproductions regardless of ignition. Antique muzzleloaders, or antiques which fire obsolete cartridges, may be shipped internationally however it is the responsibility of the buyer to know and abide by their local laws and provide proof that the antique arm is legal to receive and own. Payment can be made by money order, banker's check, personal check, or credit card (no fees). Please allow 7-10 business days for clearance on personal checks. If paying by credit card please call us directly to process your order. If not satisfied with an item within 3 days of receiving it, simply return the item in the same condition as shipped for a full refund, minus return shipping costs. Cleaning, disassembly, or altering of a firearm in any way will void inspection privileges. Layaway may be allowed upon negotiation, but will void inspection privileges. Buyer pays actual shipping & insurance costs. Occasionally a post-1898 firearm from my personal collection may be sold under this account however it will be noted that any such transaction is a personal sale in no way affiliated with our business. Any such arm will be shipped to a licensed FFL or C&R holder in accordance with Federal law. All firearms are sold as collector's items and are not warranted safe for shooting. Please consult a competent gunsmith prior to shooting any firearm. Message or call with any questions about this firearm, or any of our other items at 860-873-1092 (office) or 860-345-2100 (shop).
