Cogswell & Harrison 'Optimum' 12 Ga 30" barrels Prince of Wales
Manufactured in Italy by B. Rizzini for historic British gunmaker Cogswell & Harrison, the Optimum blends traditional English styling with refined Italian precision engineering. Designed as a versatile over-and-under shotgun, it exemplifies the mechanical integrity and balanced handling associated with both distinguished names.
This 2018 example remains in mint condition, showing no visible wear to the bluing or woodwork despite light previous use. The silver-finished sideplated boxlock receiver is fully enveloped in deep, intricate floral and scroll engraving, handsomely complemented by a Prince of Wales stock of exhibition-grade walnut displaying dark, high-contrast marble figure beneath a high-gloss finish.
Mechanically, the 30-inch multichoke barrels lock up tight to the action, cycling reliably with selective ejection and a crisp single trigger. It is offered in a premium velvet-lined fitted hard case complete with protective fabric sleeves and original manufacturer manuals.
