Joe, Look at the length of those barrels !!. I'm partial to 26" barrels. What does it weigh? You mentioned yours is 400 guns earlier than mine. Why would mine have 2 5/8" chambers and yours 2 3/4"? Not challenging your comments, just think the 2 5/8 would be an earlier configuration for the chamber? I tried to find Cashmore information when I got it a few years ago, but drew a blank. It's cooling off up north, hope the same for you. Randy

Joe, Ask and you shall receive. I must have been typing the other reply as you were posting the pics. Your gun configuration is exactly like mine. Except yours is a higher grade with beautiful wood. Yep, the action is dead nuts to mine. I really like my Cashmoor and shoot it alot. Mine came xtra full both barrels, and I had them opened up to LM in both barrels. Great for pheasants, late grouse and close in waterfowl. Thanks for sharing. Hope others with Cashmores jump in and share their guns. Randy

The gun weighs approximately 7 & 1/2 lbs and has the standard round Greener cross bolt. I shot it today at a pattern plate it shot a great 40 yard pattern with #4's...just a little high.

As Greg says, quite rightly, 1925 to 1954 with those proof marks. I did look for the small mark that gives the date by way of a letter code. I couldn't see it so suspect that we can narrow it down to after 1941 and before 1950 when thay dropped that system for a few years. I've only got a bit on Cashmore serial numbers and dates but if my asumption is right it should be in the 19,000 to 20,000 range. Nice gun. Lagopus.....

Nice gun. Glad you snatched it up. I thought it looked all original.
Great deal.

Congrats on a nice gun. I looked at that one and now I wonder why I hesitated. The pics on Cherry's site do not do that gun justice. If it's a pigeon gun I would expect it to shoot high. Great find IMO.

Joe, This is a pic of my Cashmoor (Missouri River Fall 09). Great guns. Sorta puzzled they were built rather recently. Randy

Joe, that seems to narrow the date down a little; at least to a 10 year gap.
Randy, nice dog. I would take you up on that but live in England. Not seen pointing labs here although I know of them in the States. Make a great companion to my young Chesapeake. Lagopus.....

Hi All,
Just found this site a few days ago and been educating myself in the archives, but here is a thread I can help with!
I think the date on Joe's Cashmore is a bit earlier than suggested above. I inherited a sidelock Cashmore from my grandfather, number 20003, and he died in a car wreck in 1939, hit by a drunk driver while enroute to his duck camp on Cape Cod.
My father used it only a little and the gun was well worn when I started hunting with it in the late '70s, checkering quite worn and the barrels silvered at the hand grip area. Bore is still excellent and action tight.
I have the hunting log from my grandfather's duck camp and there is a reference to his using a new gun, but I don't remember the date, believe early '30s.
If I have a chance this evening, I will try to find the reference in the log and a photo, but fear this may be beyond my capabilities on the computer,
