Sumners 5030

A pretty and unusual side plated boxlock non ejector by William Sumners. Action looks like a Westley Richards. Barrels well sleeved by T. Wild. The case has the initials CWMS, suggesting the gun was made for Sumners' son. The Middlesex Regiment earned the nickname 'Die Hards' at the battle of Alburerer in the Peninsular War, under the Duke of Wellington.
