COLLATH IN FRANKFURT A/O. PATENT` the breech end with two silver-inlaid bands scroll-backed Collath patent action deeply carved with acanthus scrollwork surrounding naturalistic scenes feather and fox the tang engraved with a vigilant hare also inlaid with a vacant brass escutcheon fitted below the manual `wingnut` safety scrolled horn triggerguard with scrolling tang forming a pistolgrip 13 1/2in. stock with filled sling eye holes cheekpiece including buttplate Other Notes: We have received the following correspondence from the Metropolitan Police: I hold the Commissioner`s delegated authority under S 55 Firearms Act 1968 and it is my opinion that the Collath shotgun referred to in this correspondence can be classified as an antique provided it is purchased or acquired as a curiosity or ornament. In reaching my decision I have taken account that Collath shotguns have their own unique gauging system and the number 1 gauge is not a true 12 gauge the nearest equivalent would be 14 bore which is classified as obsolete in any case. In addition Collath ammunition is sufficiently rare as it was apparently last catalogued for sale in 1911 and the Collath shotgun never gained much popularity.
