B.S.A. Lincoln Jeffries Patent Air rifles were introduced in 1905. The Lincoln & 'H' or Heavy model were produced between 1905-1908. All of the examples we have seen have been underlever variants & we cannot find any reference for break action variants. This example of the Lincoln Jeffries has the characteristics and markings of the Lincoln model apart from the fact that it is break action, rather than underlever as illustrated and described on page 17 of The Collector's Guide To Air Rifles By Hiller. The metal work has even blue finish and it has all original wood stock with chequered panel straight hand stock and chequered butt. The rifle measures 39 ¾” overall with an 18 ¾” two stage barrel. It has a blade foresight and ‘v’ notch plate rear sight. It loads and fires correctly with a good spring action.. The serial No 19890 is above the adjustable trigger. The dark wood stock and chequered straight hand grip have very minor age related marks. The metalwork retains 85% of its original blueing. The price for this scarce Lincoln variant includes UK delivery. 20403.
