S2
The gun was completed in 1994 and appears virtually unused. It was engraved by Martin Smith.
Symes & Wright was formed as a gunmaker in London in 1987. Both Peter Symes and Alex Wright had worked for James Purdey & Sons and as young gunmakers had decided to set up business on their own. With their flair for design and marketing, the company was quickly established as a competitor to the existing London makers. At a time when the London trade was perceived as old and stuffy, Symes & Wright were like a breath of fresh air. To quote from one of the company's advertisements, "We are not trading on a reputation established over a century ago, nor do we waste energy marketing luxury goods associated with our name. Our business is quite simply building the finest sporting guns money can buy, without compromise, without exception". Unfortunately orders dwindled with the economic downtown of the early 1990s and the firm ceased trading in 1995. Production was modest with side-by-side production reaching serial number 36 and over and under guns reaching serial number 14.
