This Army & Navy C.S.L. Hammer Gun in .410 is a tangible relic of that world—a world of colonial service, grand adventure, and the necessity of being ready for anything.

This is not just a firearm; it is a direct connection to the era when young officers strode the aisles of the Army & Navy Cooperative Society Limited, gathering their necessities for a life of “derring-do on the fringes of Empire.” In an age when the catalogue was packed with choices for the discerning sportsman, a .410 shotgun was the quintessential “collector’s gun”—a perfect blend of practicality and portability for securing new species or simply putting game in the pot.
